Sophie Wessex and Edward body language 'shifted' amid Duke of Edinburgh title row - expert

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, 56, and Prince Edward, 57, are dedicated working royals and have shone as they have taken on a more prominent place in the Firm since Megxit. While it has long been understood that Edward would one day inherit Prince Philip’s Duke of Edinburgh title, royal insiders have recently claimed it may not happen.
Earlier this month, two sources told the Sunday Times Prince Charles, 72, who currently holds the Duke of Edinburgh title, had no intention of handing it on to Edward when he becomes king.
One source said: “The prince is the Duke of Edinburgh as it stands, and it is up to him what happens to the title. It will not go to Edward.”
Another added: “Edinburgh won’t go to them [the Wessexes] as far as the prince is concerned.”
The claims are understood to have come as a shock to Edward and Sophie who Prince Philip asked to take on the title in person shortly before their wedding in 1999.
