Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, many things have been left up in the air, such as some titles, and after months of speculation, King Charles III is at the moment of decision of the appointment of the new Duke of Edinburgh. At the time there was talk that the title would belong to Prince Edward, since this was left by the late Prince Philip, but, apparently, at this time the decision has already been made to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Daily Mail tells some reasons why King Charles III would have been late in giving the title, which was expected to be obtained by his older brother, but not being so the eyes turned to the king who apparently made the decision that this title would take it to Princess Charlotte who is just seven years old.
The appointment as Duchess of Edinburgh by Princess Charlotte is a historic event, since she is the first female member of the royal family whose line of succession will not be surpassed by her younger brother simply because he is a man, this has generated great controversy because the girl could become queen in case her younger brother decides not to become a father.
Many royal members commented against this decision, not only because of the role changes that have been seen in royalty, giving much more privileges to women than previously known. Other comments claim that this title should have been given to a member of the family who had more renown in the royalty, but there is nothing that can be done since King Charles III has made a decision and now Princess Charlotte is the new Duchess of Edinburgh.
