Today Edward is beaming and the wattage from his smile could provide Edinburgh with enough energy for a week. ? (..)

The new Duke and Duchess visited Edinburgh today.

How fitting and the fact that Edward referred to Sophie as his wife and duchess suggests that this was a very meaningful step for them.

 

[rominet09]

I think everybody is happy for them, they deserve it !

 

[DaphneHarridge]

How fitting and the fact that Edward referred to Sophie as his wife and duchess suggests that this was a very meaningful step for them.

He looked as if he couldn't quite believe it as he said, "My wife, the Duchess". Awwww.... I'm so happy for the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh!

 

[Royalist.in.NC]

So well deserved!!! He looks very happy today

Posts about the new titles have been moved to the thread about the titles of the Edinburgh family. You can find that thread here.

 

[Heavs]

I'm very happy for them and extremely appropriate that they immediately visit Edinburgh.

 

[Hallo girl]

How fitting and the fact that Edward referred to Sophie as his wife and duchess suggests that this was a very meaningful step for them.

He was so proud to call her Duchess. A lovely couple.

 

[Kaye1850]

I wonder if they managed a birthday visit with The Lovely Lady Louise whilst in Scotland?
There, I’ve upgraded her title too!

I've never seen him so happy. And glad he is now showing to everyone how to be a proper working royal, he enjoys meeting with people and represent the UK monarchy.

 

[Royalist.in.NC]

He looks so incredibly happy!!! I’m thrilled for him and Sophie - much deserved to two wonderful and devoted family members

 

[Heavs]

It seems as though he hasn't stopped smiling for three days. Good for him, it's nice to see someone nearly 60 so genuinely thrilled about a birthday present.

I'm really happy for them and the BRF is not a meritocracy of any kind but they do deserve this bump up in recognition and immediately pairing it with a trip to Edinburgh was important and smart planning.

I totally agree.

This has obviously made Edward (and Sophie) very happy. It’s so nice to see.

It’s not a meritocracy- but they do deserve it. It’s just nice to see hard working people properly rewarded.

Very well deserved as Prince Edward has had a long association with for decades.

There, I’ve upgraded her title too!

That was my first thought, too. Louise is the only one of that family of four who gets no new title because the courtesy title for the daughters of earls are the same as for daughters of dukes. Again missed out on the Royal front...

The Duke of Edinburgh as Patron of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award visited Portland College in Mansfield today, March 15:

It is so nice to see someone so happy with a title and appreciative.

Its not a big deal. Its clear Louise is happy with being Lady L

The courtesy title may be the same, but Louise has moved up two "rungs" on the precedence scale. Daughter of an Earl > (daughter of a Marquess) > daughter of a Duke.

 

[Prinsara]

The courtesy title may be the same, but Louise has moved up two "rungs" on the precedence scale. Daughter of an Earl > (daughter of a Marquess) > daughter of a Duke.

I think Louise already had precedence over all of them by being a daughter of a Prince/granddaughter of the Sovereign.
