Royal update
It was a long time coming. But for the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, finally gaining titles that have special meaning to them has been worth the wait.
The couple was promised the titles by the Queen when they married in 1999 – once she and her husband Prince Philip, the then Duke of Edinburgh, were no longer around, of course.
It was expected Edward would be given the dukedom six months ago, after the Queen’s death.
