Royal Family News: Will Prince Edward Make This Move To Spite Prince Charles?

British royal family news reveals that the monarchy is in a semi-state of chaos at the moment, with various members pulling this and that stunt. For instance, yesterday it was leaked that bombastic Prince Harry is writing a tell-all. And heir to the throne Prince Charles is reportedly snubbing his little brother Prince Edward, perhaps planning to cheat him out of a promised title.

Now comes word that Edward and his wife Sophie aren’t about to let Mr. High and Mighty ice them out of the title Duke of Edinburgh.

Royal Family News – Will Prince Charles Cheat His Brother Out Of A Title?

Royal insider Richard Eden reports that in light of Chuck possibly keeping the title for himself when he becomes King, “I hear that Edward’s family may start using a new moniker of their own.”

He further explains, “When the Earl and Countess of Wessex’s daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, turns 18 in November, she will be legally entitled to style herself Her Royal Highness Princess Louise.” Her cousins do this already, with Prince Andrew’s daughters known as HRH Princess Beatrice and HRH Princess Eugenie.

According to Eden, “If Prince Charles is going to play silly games over titles, Edward and Sophie might need to ensure that they use the titles their family already have. Louise is a humble teenager and doesn’t act like a princess, but she is one — that’s a fact.”

Eden affirms that a Letters Patent issued in 1917 does, “assign a princely status and the style of Royal Highness to all children of a monarch’s sons.” And Sophie herself said in an interview last year that it would be up to her children Lady Louise and her brother, James, Viscount Severn, as to the titles they use in the future.

She stated, “We try to bring them up with the understanding that they are very likely to have to work for a living. Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles. They have them, and can decide to use them from 18.”\

She then added that it was not likely they would do so. But that was before news of Charles allegedly playing name games was known.

In recent days Charles’ friends have expressed that he might not allow Edward to be the Duke of Edinburgh despite the fact he agreed to it previously when the Earl and Countess were married in 1999.
