Жыл бұрынRoyal Family Focus: Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh.
Prince Edward is the youngest child of Queen Elizabeth II, and was third in line to the throne at the time of his birth. Born in 1964 at Buckingham Palace, he was christened at a private ceremony at Windsor Castle.
He attended schools in London and Berkshire before moving to Gordonstoun School in Scotland. He then attended Jesus College Cambridge, this caused controversy at the time as his A level results, D grades in history and politics and a C grade in English, were well below the usual entry standards.
Prince Edward obtained sponsorship for his time at university from the Royal Marines, who paid for his tuition in exchange for his service after university. But he dropped out of the gruelling commando training course part-way through, and left the Marines. This was probably a difficult moment for his father Prince Philip, who was the Captain General of the Royal Marines at the time.
Always passionate about theatre, Prince Edward then pursued a career in entertainment. Starting as a production assistant with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s production company in 1988, he went on to found his own production company in 1993.
Prince Edward announced his engagement to Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999. The two had been close to each other since 1993. They got married at the chapel in Windsor Castle, rather than at Westminster Abbey, in contrast to his older siblings.
Prince Edward stepped away from his career in TV production in 2002, following a 2001 row where he was accused of ‘cashing in’ on his royal status after his production company broke royal privacy agreements by attempting to film his nephew Prince William while he was at university.
Prince Edward would start to perform royal duties full time from this point onwards. Prince Edward and Sophie, then the Countess of Wessex, would go on to have two children. Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and James Mountbatten-Windsor.
Prince Edward would eventually become the new Duke of Edinburgh, a title previously held by his father Prince Philip, and Sophie would become the Duchess of Edinburgh. They remain two of the most prominent and publicly visible members of the Royal Family. Prince Edward has also taken over his father’s role in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, which encourages and supports young people to take part in volunteering, and outdoor expeditions.

The Duke of Edinburgh has always sought his own path, instead of waiting around for direction. He has always had independant resolve to be who he is. Now, as Duke of Edinburgh, he has the quiet confidence to continue the work and duties of his father, Prince Philip. He and Duchess Sophie are a wonderful couple and truly best friends. We need to hear more about them. 💖👑💖

I still think the Queen was proudest of him because he didn't have those scandals like his siblings and he has a humble and quiet family life. Doesn't matter if he didn't follow the tradition of being in the military. He is his own man and into the arts. He is good man.

Wow. Nice hatchet job on Prince Edward. 😡 -He's not intelligent enough to get into the College of his choice without someone meddling for him. - He's allowed to show up at school whatever time he wishes. Without the fear of reprimanding. - The Royal Marines paid for his college (Why.. Did Mummy and Daddy not make enough) and he left them high and dry. - He obviously embarrassed his father who was disappointed in him. Perhaps you could do a video on all the good things he's done in his life.

No money or property goes with that title. That goes for most of the other Royal Dukedoms too. The only two Royal Dukedoms that provide an income is the Duchy of Cornwall, which now supports William, and the Duchy of Lancaster which now supports Charles. Those two were set up in the 1300s to provide an income to the monarch and the heir apparent.

The British Royal Family will need more "working royals" . The Duke of Kent (the Duchess of Kent rarely appears at Royal Events), Princess Alexandra (who has announced her "retirement" as a working royal, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are leaving the scene due to age. The leave Princess Anne (who will be 80 in 7 years and probably will need to slow down a bit), and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh as the only "working royals" left to assist King Charles and Queen Camilla. Prince George needs another 14 years of schooling, university, and perhaps military service before he can be considered a "working royal". King Charles has been reluctant to appoint Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie as "working royals. King Charles has made it quite clear he will not expand the immediate royal family with HRH designations.
