When Prince Philip married Queen Elizabeth II in 1947, he was bestowed the title of Duke of Edinburgh.
Upon Philip’s passing in April 2021, the dukedom was inherited by his son, Charles.
However, there’s now a new Duke of Edinburgh.
The bestowing of titles is a regular part of the monarch’s job.
Upon his death, the title will go back to the monarch to be bestowed at their choosing.
Prince George already has several titles that tradition virtually guarantees he will inherit.
As the youngest child, it’s quite amazing to think of him becoming a duke.
It is also the most exclusive since it is granted solely by the monarch.
The immediate children and grandchildren born through the male royal family member’s line would all receive titles.
Unfortunately, this stopped at the great-grandchildren who would not receive a title.
