Yes, I had always read that also. Actually when Prince Phillip passed the title went to Charles because he is the oldest son. When the Queen passed and Charles became King the title was returned to the crown and Charles will need to bestow it to Edward which I hope he does since that was what the Queen seemed to want.I thought that had been the plan since Edward and Sophie were married. I was under the impression, but could be very incorrect, that they were given the title of Earl and Countess of Wessex with the understanding that when Prince Philip passed the title of Duke of Edinburgh would go to Edward. But, like I said, that may not be accurate.
