Meet Prince Edward’s Children—Why They Don’t Have HRH Titles
06.05.2023 - 11:19 / stylecaster.com
If you’re obsessed with the Royal Family tree, you must be wondering who Prince Edward’s children are.
As the youngest of Queen Elizabeth’s children, Prince Edward married his wife Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999 after dating her for six years. They met through her friend who he was dating at the time and reconnected at a promotion shoot for the Prince Edward Summer Challenge. Since then, they had two loving children who live on the royal legacy. After Prince Phillip’s death and the rise of King Charles, Edward attained the title of Duke of Edinburgh.

Only because for their sakes, to grow up as normally as possible we felt was quite important. And they’re going to have to go out and get a job and earn a living later on in life and if they’ve had a normal a start in life they possibly can get, then hopefully that will stand them in good stead.”
In a post on the British royal family’s Instagram account in September 2022, Prince Edward revealed what he learned from Queen Elizabeth after her death. “As a family, we have grown up learning to share our parents, especially our beloved mama, with the Nation, her Realms and the Commonwealth,” he wrote. “While it has been lovely to have spent time saying our own farewell privately at Balmoral, it is now
