**Princess Charlotte of Wales Could Be Given New Title**
The only daughter of the prince and princess of Wales, seven-year-old Princess Charlotte of Wales, currently styled as Her Royal Highness, may soon receive a new title.
Instead of bestowing the title of Duke of Edinburgh upon Prince Edward, His Majesty is considering granting the prestigious title of Duchess of Edinburgh to the young royal.
This potential decision would serve as a poignant tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who held the title when she wed Prince Philip.
The late Queen was known as Her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth, the Duchess of Edinburgh until her coronation on June 2, 1953.
Princess Charlotte, third in line to the throne following Prince William and her elder brother Prince George, holds a unique position in the royal succession.
As the first female royal to benefit from the revised succession law, which ensures that girls are not overtaken by younger brothers in the line of succession, Princess Charlotte's future title is under discussion.
The UK's succession laws were amended prior to the birth of Prince George in 2013, marking a significant shift in royal tradition.
According to sources close to the royal family, discussions are ongoing regarding the preferred title for Princess Charlotte.
A source revealed to the Mail on Sunday the constitutional significance of bestowing such a title upon Charlotte, highlighting the possibility of her ascending the throne in the future.
In the event that Prince George does not have children, Princess Charlotte could potentially surpass him in the line of succession, making her title all the more critical.
Recent reports suggest a change of heart within the royal family, with sources indicating that the title may ultimately be granted to Prince Edward.
