Things are pretty quiet at the moment. I was leafing through some royal stuff on the internet and was looking at some discussions on whether Prince Harry will receive a dukedom and if so which one.
Mention was made that he might receive an earldom whilst HRH The Duke of York is alive in readiness to receive this traditional title for the second son/eldest brother of a British monarch as the present incumbent doesn't (currently) have an heir male to inherit the Dukedom, much as HRH The Prince Edward was created The Earl of Wessex in anticipation of being created The Duke of Edinburgh.
I don't think I've mentioned this before but has no one noticed that Prince Edward's full name is Edward Anthony Richard Louis? His initials are therefore... EARL.
