Recognizing the Unsung Heroes
Journalist Richard Eden shines a spotlight on Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, referring to them as the “unsung heroes of the Royal Family.”
In his Palace Confidential newsletter, Eden applauds the couple’s dedicated public service, contrasting it with the more publicized exits of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from royal duties.
The Contrast with Other Royal Members
Eden points out the stark difference in approach between Edward and Sophie and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, emphasizing how the former has continued the tradition of quiet public service.
While Harry and Meghan have utilized their royal titles for personal gain, Edward and Sophie have chosen challenging causes, such as supporting victims of sexual violence.
A Missed Opportunity: Hereditary Titles
Edward’s succession as the Duke of Edinburgh was announced by King Charles on his 59th birthday, acknowledging the couple’s contributions to the monarchy.
However, Eden expresses disappointment that the title was turned into a life peerage instead of retaining its hereditary nature.
He perceives this as an insult and advocates for upgrading the title to a hereditary one, celebrating Edward and Sophie’s significance within the Royal Family.
Encouraging Future Generations
Eden suggests that bestowing a hereditary title upon Edward and Sophie might not only honor their contributions but also encourage their son, James, the Earl of Wessex, to join “The Firm” in the future.
By making the title hereditary, it could potentially provide an incentive for the younger generation to play vital roles within the Royal Family, continuing the tradition of service.
Richard Eden’s perspective highlights the complexities of royal titles and their symbolic significance.
The call for hereditary titles reflects a desire to recognize enduring contributions and potentially secure the commitment of the younger generation to royal responsibilities.
It also raises questions about the evolving nature of these titles and their role in shaping the future of the monarchy.
