Edward won't receive the Edinburgh Dukedom when Philip dies unless Charles is already King and recreates the title for Edward.
You missed my point. It's been publicly stated that Edward is likely to receive the dukedom of Edinburgh when Philip dies, and obviously for that to happen, Charles would have to create a new dukedom of Edinburgh for Edward and his descendants. We already know that's how it works.
To give one of Philip's subsidiary titles to William is an affront to that, and goes against what is expected to happen for Edward, and thus is highly unlikely to occur. Because if this happens, the dukedom of Edinburgh will pass through William and his descendants, and it's unlikely that when William becomes King, Edward will still be alive, and if he is, he'll be very old. So it would make no sense in that scenario for William to create a new dukedom of Edinburgh for Edward.
