In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed by a reliable source that Prince Charles is set to bestow the prestigious title of Duke of Edinburgh upon his brother, Prince Edward.
This decision comes after initial rumors suggested that Princess Charlotte would be the recipient of the title, causing tension within the royal family.
The King, keen on reconciling with Edward, has reportedly reconsidered his earlier plans and is now leaning towards honoring Edward with the title, possibly around March next year as he approaches his 60th birthday.
The speculation surrounding the Duke of Edinburgh title originally centered on Princess Charlotte, granddaughter of Prince William.
However, it seems that the King has had a change of heart and is now looking to honor Edward, the Earl of Wessex, with the esteemed title.
Sources close to the family suggest that the King's decision was influenced by Edward's unwavering support during the recent controversies involving their brother, Prince Andrew.
Edward and his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, had long believed that their son, Viscount Severn, would inherit the title following Edward's passing, as promised by the Queen before her passing.
However, it appears that the King's intentions have shifted, raising questions about the future of the Duke of Edinburgh title within the royal lineage.
There are whispers that the King may opt to reclaim the title for the crown once Edward is no longer able to hold it.
As the countdown to King Charles III's coronation in May continues, a new addition to the royal festivities has been unveiled.
The Royal Windsor Pink Gin, crafted using raspberries from the Royal Estate, has been introduced as a special beverage in honor of the upcoming coronation.
Infused with pink peppercorns, cashew bark, orange peel, and rose petal, the gin offers a unique blend of flavors that is sure to delight royal enthusiasts.
Royal reporter Rebecca Russell shared images of the pink gin, highlighting its connection to the Royal Estate in Windsor and its availability for purchase in select countries.
The beverage, priced at £38 for a 70cl bottle, can be acquired from Royal Collection stores in Windsor, London, and Edinburgh, with proceeds benefiting the Royal Collection Trust charity.
The gin's creation is said to have been inspired by the late Queen's fondness for a gin and Dubonnet cocktail, a drink she enjoyed before lunch.
Dubonnet, a wine-based aperitif favored by the late Queen Mother as well, adds a touch of sophistication to the royal tradition.
With its blend of fortified wine, herbs, and spices, Dubonnet complements the fruity notes of the pink gin, creating a refreshing and slightly bitter taste that is reminiscent of royal gatherings of the past.
As preparations for King Charles III's coronation gather momentum, the introduction of the Royal Windsor Pink Gin adds a modern twist to the age-old traditions of the British monarchy.
