Edward has led a fairly quiet and scandal-free life compared to his other siblings.
But they do their best to keep their personal life out of the public eye.
However, that’s not to say that he’s a total enigma.
There’s much more to the Duke of Edinburgh than you may have realized.
This actually started fairly recently with Queen Elizabeth II.
The theory was, you couldn’t shake hands with everybody, so don’t start."
But, one member of the royal family still chooses not to shake hands with the public.
Despite his mother establishing this tradition, it seems Edward was concerned about the time it would take up.
Prince Edward is the youngest of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip’s four children.
“Andrew bullied everybody and would constantly swipe his younger brother,” Seward wrote.
“If he saw Edward going for a particular cake, Andrew would try and grab it first.”
The boy’s natures remained very different throughout the years.
Edward was sweet and quiet in comparison to his brother, who would often throw tantrums.
In school, Edward outperformed his older brother.
He did well in sports and drama and even became the head boy.
After school, Edward went to Cambridge, while Andrew went straight into the military.
It seems the two always had quite different personalities and, as a result, a somewhat strained relationship.
Before the case reached its conclusion, The Crown took action to dismiss Andrew from their ranks.
This stripped Andrew of his military and royal titles.
All the siblings, including Prince Edward, were in agreement to strip Andrew of his titles.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
He has suddenly lost so much weight."
Despite concern from the public, there have been no official sources indicating that Prince Edward is unwell.
The German publication Bunte claimed that Buckingham Palace had responded to them regarding these concerns.
MSN quoted the German publication saying, “Everything is fine, Prince Edward is fine.”
However, it’s worth noting that Bunte didn’t provide any proof of this official update.
Up to that point, Edward was theEarl of Wessex.
But the title didn’t pass on to Edward that seamlessly.
Prince Andrew was named Duke of York, and King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall.
But, according toThe Mirror, it was Edward who requested the title.
Apparently, Edward requested this lesser title after the character in the film “Shakespeare in Love.”
It may seem like an odd reason to pick a title, but The Queen obliged.
Meanwhile, Sophie worked in PR, also opening her own agency.
In 2002 they became full-time working members of the royal family for Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee year.
Sophie centered her work around supporting programs and charities for children and women facing violence.
And Edward used his royal position to continue his patronage of the arts.
In recent years, they’ve started to take on more public-facing responsibilities.
However, they were an unexpected match and initially did their best to keep their relationship a secret.
Sophie was hired to manage publicity for a charity Tennis event that Edward was organizing.
Despite their efforts to keep their relationship private, the press eventually learned about Sophie.
Edward had witnessed the failed relationships of his older siblings and didn’t want to follow in their footsteps.
The spotlight on his relationship was exactly what Edward had hoped to avoid.
In response, he gave a rare TV interview.
Edward became increasingly irritated the more he was asked about proposing to Sophie.
The more people second-guess, the more likely it is I just won’t do it."
Many saw his attitude during the interview and in regard to the press as entitled.
Fortunately, now the public seems to appreciate the Duke and Duchess more.
“We wish them the very best of luck.”
Because of this, they did not grow up together in the way you might expect brothers to.
It seems that Charles may have old resentments harbored toward his younger brother and his wife, Sophie.
Then Sophie made the mistake of beingrecorded by an undercover reporteras she made casual remarks about the royal family.
These public debacles angered Charles, who demanded his younger brother pick between his private career and the crown.
Along with her love for their youngest son, The Queen became very close to her daughter-in-law Sophie.
