King Charles gives Duke of Edinburgh title to brother Edward to honour Philip's wish
The King has honoured the late Queen and Philip's wishes by handed his father's title the Duke of Edinburgh to his brother Prince Edward.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement: "His Majesty The King has been pleased to confer the Dukedom of Edinburgh upon the Prince Edward, on the occasion of HRH's 59th birthday today. The title will be held for HRH's lifetime. Edward will also remain for his lifetime the Earl of Forfar, another of his titles, but will use the Duke of Edinburgh because it is the more senior Scottish title. Philip had always wanted his youngest son Edward to inherit his title, but the decision ultimately was down to Charles as King.
In keeping with the Letters Patent issued when King George VI gave Philip the title in 1947, Charles inherited the Edinburgh dukedom when Philip died - but he did not use it. On the death of the Queen six months ago, Charles acceded to the throne and the title merged with the crown and could be granted to someone to someone else.
