King Charles is reportedly considering a special title for Charlotte

It's been reported that King Charles is considering giving his granddaughter one of the Queen's titles, the Duchess of Edinburgh, as a 'fitting' tribute to his late mother.

The title – which is one of the most senior within the Royal Family – will also reflect Charlotte's position as third-in-line to the throne, behind her father Prince William and older brother Prince George, nine.

From her marriage until her accession, the late Queen was styled Her Royal Highness The Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh. The title of Duke of Edinburgh was held by Prince Philip until his death in April 2021.
