Princess Charlotte Expected to Break Tradition and Hold Title in Her Own Right
Princess Charlotte, the young daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, is rumored to break with tradition and hold a title in her own right.
Speculations about the future of the Edinburgh title have surfaced, suggesting that Princess Charlotte will be granted a new title when she comes of age.
In the past, the Edinburgh title was given to Prince Edward, the younger brother of the current monarch, when it returned to the crown after his succession.
However, if the rumors are true, Princess Charlotte could become the first Princess of the Blood to hold a ducal title independently, making history in the process.
Royal expert Christine Ross expressed her enthusiasm, stating that it would be wonderful and extremely historic for Princess Charlotte to hold the title of Duchess of Edinburgh in her own right.
This change would be unrelated to her husband and would be a result of revised rules for primogeniture, which ensure that Princess Charlotte cannot be displaced as the next in line to the throne by her younger brother, Prince Louis.
Even before her birth, Princess Charlotte made history as the first princess to maintain her position in the line of succession, regardless of any brothers born after her.
This was made possible by a change in the law of accession.
Now, as she reaches adulthood or gets married, the King may bestow upon her the title of Duchess of Edinburgh, which was previously held by the late Queen.
The plans published on the royal website indicated that Prince Edward, the late Queen's youngest son, would succeed to the position after Prince Charles becomes King.
However, when Prince Philip passed away in April 2021, the title automatically merged with the crown upon Prince Charles's coronation as King in September.
According to a royal insider, the King has reportedly kept the title with the intention of transferring it to Princess Charlotte as a final tribute to his late mother.
Discussions are ongoing, but it seems that Princess Charlotte is the King's preferred choice to hold this title.
It would be a fitting way to honor the line of succession and remember the Queen, who was known as the Duchess of Edinburgh.
In addition to the title of Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Charlotte may also assume the title of Princess Royal in the future.
As the eldest child of the future King, she would be eligible for this title, which is currently held by Princess Anne.
However, the title can only be transferred after the death of the previous holder.
