"I suspect the Queen won't be happy either with such a blatant U-turn and, while she respects that Charles must reshape the monarchy following her death, she should be listened to."Īnd for more royals news sent right to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter. In a July 14 report in the Daily Mail, royal expert Dan Wootton wrote that Her Majesty would be very unhappy if Charles does not accede to Philip's promise. If he denies Edward the title, Charles would be going against the expressed written wishes of his mother and father. There is no royal rule that says Charles has to give Edward the title, but the Earl of Wessex is the only one of the Queen's three sons not to hold a dukedom. An insider close to the Prince of Wales recently told The Sunday Times: 'The Prince is the Duke of Edinburgh as it stands, and it is up to him what happens to the title. But recent reports suggest Charles is not currently planning on giving it to him. Philip wanted Edward to be the next Duke of Edinburgh after his death and to continue the work of the Duke of Edinburgh Award as its patron. Read on to find out how Charles is rocking the boat. But even before Charles becomes King, insiders say the Princes of Wales is causing tension within the family and could ultimately break a long-held promise that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip made decades ago. In that case, other members of the family may be encouraged to take on more traditional jobs to help support themselves and the shift could even mean a loss of their titles, patronages, and possibly even their security except at royal events (as was the case with Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice in 2011). In an interview with talkRADIO in April, royal biographer Angela Levin said: "Prince Charles has wanted for a very long time to cut the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer." As the Daily Mail reported around the same time, Charles' vision for a downsized version of "The Firm" could include just hismself, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, Duchess Catherine, and their children- Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis-as senior royals. The Prince of Wales' plans for a slimmed-down monarchy are no secret, according to insiders. It's been said for months that when Prince Charles becomes King, there will be a lot of changes at the Palace.
