King Charles to Bestow Title Duchess of Edinburgh on Princess Charlotte
After months of deliberation, it appears that King Charles III has decided to bestow the title of Duchess of Edinburgh on Princess Charlotte, who is the third in line to the throne.
King Charles III has decided to bestow the title on Charlotte as a way of “honouring the line of succession,” a subtle nod to the late Queen Elizabeth, who previously held that title from 1947 to 1952 before ascending to the throne.
“Discussions are ongoing,” a source told the Daily Mail, “but the King’s preferred outcome is that this title should go to Princess Charlotte.” It would be a fitting tribute to the Queen, who had the title Duchess of Edinburgh, and a way for His Majesty to honour the line of succession.”
Princess Charlotte is third in line to the throne after King Charles, her father, Prince William, and her older brother, Prince George.
Now comes the historic part: after her mother, Kate Middleton, became pregnant with her, the Windsor family changed the rules regarding girls having the same rights as boys.
This means that when her younger brother was born, Charlotte’s position did not change, and she remained in line for the throne.
But, returning to the title, the late Queen was not the only one who held it. The title of Duchess of Edinburgh is one of the most senior in the Royal Family, and only four women have ever held it.
Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha was the first to be given the title in the 18th century, followed by Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. Then came Queen Elizabeth, followed by Camila, now known as the Queen Consort.
Charlotte appears to be the fifth woman to hold this title. Her late great-grandmother would be so proud!
Harry, Meghan’s Bullying Accusation a Complete ‘Fabrication’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been chastised for spreading fabricated allegations’ about the bullying investigation.
Sarah Vine, a royal commentator and author, responded in her piece for the Mail on Sunday.
“Vehemently denied by the Prince of Wales and repudiated in typical diplomatic fashion by the late Queen -‘ recollections may vary’ – it’s never been entirely clear what form this so-called racism was supposed to have taken,” she wrote.
“The Sussexes have never provided any concrete evidence.” Indeed, scratch the surface, and all the data indicates that the exact opposite of what they say is true – especially if you believe that actions speak louder than words.”
“Take a look at the late Queen’s dedication to the Commonwealth and its people.” Take, for example, the King’s Prince’s Trust, which has assisted countless disadvantaged children, many of whom come from minority backgrounds.”
“One of those helped even handed out a Pride of Britain Prince’s Trust Award last month to a young RAF pilot with Asperger’s syndrome named Alex Anderson, in recognition of the opportunities provided by the Trust.” Idris Elba is his name.”
“And who can forget Charles’ pride and dignity as he walked Meghan down the aisle?” Or her mother’s warm reception at the wedding?”
“After all the work the King – and other Royals – have done to promote tolerance and diversity, the notion that the family is ‘institutionally racist’ is nothing short of absurd.”
“However, the Sussexes have cleverly engineered this idea.” All to create a narrative that serves their purpose: to boost their image – and bank account – at the expense of the Royal Family.”
“It insults Harry’s grandmother’s work and exposes the Royal Family to the vilest accusations and abuse.”
