It’s been announced to that the Earl of Wessex has been given the title duke of Edinburgh on his 59th birthday and his son becomes the earl of Wessex, so pleased because that’s what the late Queen and Duke want <3

Aw that's really good news to hear. Does that mean that Sophie becomes the Duchess of Edinburgh?

Deserved, I think, as they backed the late Queen solidly and, apparently Sophie had afternoon tea with the Queen a lot. As Linda wrote, that is what the late Queen wanted.

A much revered titled, so pleased for Edward and Sophie :-)

Not sure why the other Posts have been reported as they were obviously posted in error... I'm sure that because they have been reported Linda won't be able to delete them now :-(

A bit over the top. A pm to Linda pointing out what she had done would have been better. Now they will stay there for ages. :-|

it has at times taken a loooong time for post to be accepted, maybe a bit of impatience crept in?

I read somewhere today that these things are usually done on a birthday and this would have been the first chance.
