What titles does Edward hold, anyway?

Edward is Earl of Wessex and Viscount Severn. It was stated at the time of his wedding, although I don't remember how authoritative the source was, that it was intended for him to to become Duke of Edinburgh on the death of both parents. Mind you, they also tell us that it's intended that Camilla will be Princess Consort to King Charles, and there are any number of legal difficulties with that, so who knows. Maybe if Edward does become a royal Duke, Lady Louise will start using the HRH Princess Louise handle that she's entitled to.
