These titles were previously held by their father, Prince Philip. But here's the twist – King Charles is making them hereditary, a significant departure from tradition. This move has ignited a debate within the royal family. Richard Eden of the Daily Mail considers Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex to be unsung heroes of the year and believes that making these titles hereditary is a well-deserved honor. He even suggests that it might encourage James, the Earl of Wessex, to join the royal family when the time comes. However, not everyone agrees.
Charles Ray, former Sun Royal editor, argues that titles should return to the crown, leaving the decision of who inherits them to the reigning monarch. This debate reflects the ongoing struggle between tradition and modernity within the royal family. King Charles' unexpected move challenges the status quo and raises questions about the future. What does all this mean for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? As the focus shifts to these developments, it remains to be seen whether this marks the end of their prominence in the royal family.
