On March 11, local time, the British "Daily Mail" published a report titled "Lovely moment: Prince Edward, Duke of New Edinburgh, introduced his wife Sophie as a 'Duchess' for the first time, and the prince was excited". According to reports, on March 10, on Prince Edward's 59th birthday, he was canonized as the Duke of Edinburgh by his brother King Charles III, and on the same day, when the prince spoke at Edinburgh City Hall in Scotland, he introduced his wife for the first time with the title of "Duchess", the prince's expression was a little excited and a little embarrassed, the royal couple embodied the cute side of being a "person", bringing a warm atmosphere to the British royal family, and this breath is not available in the numerous reports about Harry and Meghan.
On the same day, Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, 58, travelled to Edinburgh to meet the public on the Mile Royal Mile, visit the city's town hall and give speeches.
With the youngest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II becoming the new Duke of Edinburgh, the king naturally created the corresponding Duchy of Edinburgh for him, and this time he came to Edinburgh to inspect his territory.
Speaking at City Hall, Prince Edward said to the audience, "Thank you very much for welcoming us to Edinburgh today, and to my wife, the next prince, Princess Sophie, a little embarrassed to say, "The Duchess", this is a very special and unusual day.
—The prince's expression was very cute, his voice was slightly raised by excitement, and the audience laughed happily and applauded at his childlike and innocent expression.
Such a scene shows the cute side of the royal family as "ordinary people". In fact, the title of Duke of Edinburgh is very high in the British aristocracy, and its status is basically second only to the British monarch. The last Duke of Edinburgh was the late Queen's husband, Prince Philip, and the Queen herself naturally held the title of Duchess of Edinburgh, which she just didn't use on weekdays.
Prince Philip is looking forward to passing the title to his youngest son, Prince Edward and Princess Sophie, and he thinks that when people see the couple, they will think back to his past.
And for Princess Sophie to inherit the queen's title and become the Duchess of New Edinburgh, the British are also a little moved. Because Sophie has always been considered the queen's favorite family and the queen's "second daughter", Sophie called the queen her mother. In addition to family affection, Sophie, with her down-to-earth style, has also become the queen's most reliable and capable assistant.
Speaking of appearance, Princess Sophie is very similar to her former sister-in-law, the late Princess Diana, however, the fate of the two is very different. Princess Diana never had a happy married life in her life, and a year after the divorce, she died in a bizarre car accident at the age of 37; But Princess Sophie is the only "original daughter-in-law" of the queen, the queen has three sons and a daughter, only the youngest son Prince Edward and his wife have not divorced, and the family of four lives happily.
When it comes to canonization, in the past week, not only Prince Edward's family has been awarded high-ranking titles, but also the king's grandsons Archie and Lilibet Diana. Buckingham Palace also confirmed that the two children already have the title of prince and princess, but the public process is a bit strange, not the king or Buckingham Palace first to release the news, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released the news that their daughter Lilibet Diana has been baptized in California, the United States called their daughter a princess, only to attract media curiosity, and then the media got the news, it turned out that the king had confirmed to Harry and Meghan that children could use the titles "prince" and "princess" as early as last year's queen's funeral , After the relevant reports came out, Buckingham Palace updated its official website in recent days, and finally called the two children princes and princesses.
Harry and Meghan's attitude towards the children's canonization is very different from Prince Edward's, stating that it is the children's "birthright". At this time, they did not laugh at the British aristocracy.
