Prince Edward and his wife Sophie at their first truly important engagement

Can an institutional commitment of the prince Edward of England make all of London and beyond chat? Certainly yes if the agenda includes the celebrations for the 120 years of the Entente Cordiale, i.e. the agreement that England and France signed on 8 April 1904 to recognize their mutual spheres of influence in the colonial context. A ceremony that might appear anachronistic, but of the time laid the foundations of future alliances between the two countries and which today reaffirms their ties.

To mark the anniversary there was a suggestive event changing of the guard. In Paris, outside the Elysée, President Macron greeted the British troops, while in London, accompanied by his wife Sophie, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh from 2023, reviewed the French ones.

Prince Edward is the new Duke of Edinburgh
The announcement came on the occasion of the 59th birthday of the fourth child of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. News that was in the air: that the title should go to him had always been in his father's wishes, fully respected by Carlo

A decidedly important occasion Charles III he preferred to delegate to his younger brother. No alarmism regarding the sovereign, who on the occasion of the recent Easter mass appeared in excellent shape and in a serene mood; the king, however, is undergoing a series of treatments due to the cancer that has affected him, so it is obvious that he is inclined to delegate, just as it is obvious that he cannot always be at his best. Despite his understandable fatigue, the sovereign remains very confident, it seems that he can't wait to leave for Australia, a trip scheduled for the end of 2024. For the moment he is content with his Birkhall estate, where – according to the The Sun – will arrive at the end of this week.

Edoardo and Sophie, meanwhile, take their place, and are doing very well. The dukes effectively took the place of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after Megxit, and today they are very close to the sovereign, as never before. Kate Middleton's condition, which is keeping Prince William away from public life, also contributes to making the couple even more visible. The Dukes of Edinburgh are perfectly capable of carrying out their tasks, thanks to years spent behind the scenes working for The Firm without showing or demanding too much, aware that there would always be lights reflected on them.

Today, when House Windsor is perhaps experiencing its most difficult moment, the crown can blindly count on them. And it is precisely by virtue of this trust that King Charles granted his brother the title that belonged to his father, respecting the wishes of Prince Philip himself. Edoardo has been actively working for the monarchy since 2002, supervising over 70 charities, and is also President of Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Organization founded by Prince Philip in 1956 dedicated to children and young people; a real community present in 144 countries, focused on sport. No one could have taken up his father's legacy better than him, and today no one can support his brother Carlo and nephew William better than him in the most delicate moment of their lives.
