The Cornwall title isn't automatic for the monarch's eldest son. It automatic for the eldest son and heir apparent. You have to be both to be Duke of Cornwall. Say something happens to Charles today. Andrew would be the monarch's eldest son but William is the heir apparent. Neither one meets the criteria for the Cornwall Dukedom.

If you read my post closely you see where I said that if Charles dies before his mother the title would merge with the crown. That Andrew would only inherit the title if Charles had no children/descendents.
