00:00Ready for some royal confusion? In conjunction with Prince Edward's 59th birthday, the King
00:05has made the Earl of Wessex the Duke of Edinburgh. So now the Countess of Wessex is also the Duchess
00:13of Edinburgh. Hello Magazine is under the impression Prince Edward will hold the title
00:17for his lifetime. Buckingham Palace had previously announced Prince Edward would receive the title,
00:23but not until his father, Prince Philip and the Queen, had passed. At the time, the palace
00:28announced the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales have also agreed that
00:33Prince Edward should be given the Dukedom of Edinburgh in due course, when the present title
00:39now held by Prince Philip eventually reverts to the crown. Well, the time is now! A very
00:45happy birthday to the new Duke of Edinburgh!
