King Charles III has bestowed the title of Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh onto Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex, so what royal title might Princess Charlotte be known as in the future?
March 11, 2023 - 06:45 GMT Phoebe Tatham On Friday, King Charles III bestowed Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex with the title, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, as per the wishes of his late parents. It was previously reported that the monarch intends to bestow a title on his only granddaughter, Princess Charlotte.
Charlotte could still pick up the title, but this would only happen following the deaths of Edward and Sophie. Edward will hold the title for life, but it will not transfer to his son James, Viscount Severn upon his passing, as the title will instead return to the Crown. It is unlikely that Charlotte will automatically gain the title when Anne passes, as Anne did not pick it up following the death of her predecessor, Princess Mary in 1965. Anne waited until 1987 when the Queen bestowed the title on her.Speculation about Charlotte's potential title also comes following the news that her cousins, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will begin using their royal titles.
