Prince Charles: his father’s last wish that he does not want to fulfill

Prince Charles weeps in public for his father Philip

For Prince Charles it is a period of great changes and, above all, of problems, large and small, to be solved. After the death of his father, the Duke of Edinburgh, and with Queen Elizabeth intending to delegate more and more responsibilities to other members of the Royal Family, he must hold the reins firmly of the Monarchy, keeping faith with its principles.

The headaches are, therefore, the order of the day and one derives precisely from the last wishes expressed by Prince Philip, which could cause another serious split in the family. Apparently, in fact, the husband of Queen Elizabeth, before dying, would have asked her eldest son and heir to the throne, to renounce the title that would be due to him by right, that of Duke of Edinburgh.

To inherit the title, according to the wishes of Prince Philip, it should have been, instead, the younger son Edoardo, who became Earl of Wessex when he married his wife Sophie, in 1999. Already then, in fact, he was promised the title of Duke of Edinburgh, which he would receive on the death of his father. A promise that, to date, has not yet been kept and that could be definitively broken.

Carlo’s is not just pure selfishness and the desire to assert his right even at the expense of Prince Philip’s will. The granting of the title to his brother Edoardo, in fact, clashes with his vision of a monarchy that he would like to implement once he has inherited the throne. His idea is to drastically reduce the number of active members of the Royal Family and, for this, is reluctant to bestow titles.

A choice, that of Prince Charles, which, if taken to the end, would deeply displease Edoardo, who shared pleasant moments and many principles with his father and who is actively working to support Queen Elizabeth after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh. .

A quarrel that would also add up to that with Harry and Meghan, who now far from London continue to leave the whole world speechless with their statements and who seem to be at loggerheads with the heir to the throne. What will Prince Charles do? Will he give in, trying to maintain strong relationships with his family members or will he stick to his ideas at any cost?
