Royal and noble titles and styles
10 March 1964 – 19 June 1999: His Royal Highness The Prince Edward
19 June 1999 – 10 March 2019: His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex
10 March 2019 – 10 March 2023: His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex and Forfar
10 March 2023 – present: His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh
Until his marriage, Edward was known as "His Royal Highness The Prince Edward". Royal commentators conjectured that former royal dukedoms such as Cambridge or Sussex might be granted to him. Instead, on 19 June 1999, he became "His Royal Highness Prince Edward The Earl of Wessex". He was the first prince since the Tudors to be created an earl (thus reserving future advancement to a dukedom). The Sunday Telegraph reported that he was drawn to the earldom of Wessex after watching the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love, in which a minor character with that title was played by Colin Firth. Edward was also granted the subsidiary title of Viscount Severn. Buckingham Palace announced the intention that Edward would eventually be created Duke of Edinburgh, a title then held by his father, Prince Philip, once it had merged in the Crown upon the death of both his parents.
On 10 March 2019, his 55th birthday, Edward was granted the additional title of Earl of Forfar for use in Scotland. He was at times referred to as the "Earl of Wessex and Forfar", such as at the funeral of his father and the state funeral of his mother.
On his 59th birthday, 10 March 2023, Edward was created Duke of Edinburgh, thus becoming "His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh". His ducal title is not hereditary, so it will revert to the crown on his death.
