A Buckingham Palace source had reportedly revealed that Prince Edward is unlikely to be named Duke of Edinburgh due to King Charles’ plan to slim down the monarchy.

It was expected that the Earl of Wessex, the only of the Queen's sons not to be a duke, would one day inherit his dad's title.

The title moved to Charles following the death of Prince Philip last year - but now it appears as though it may not be given to Edward.

As reported by the Mirror, this is despite the late Queen and Prince Philip having said Edward would inherit the title "in due course" when, in 1999, he married Sophie Rhys-Jones.
