Princess Charlotte will not be given a special title by King Charles III after the monarch's 'change of heart' over its inheritance, according to an inside source.
- King Charles III has decided against giving Princess Charlotte a special title after having a 'change of heart' over the matter, according to an insider.
- His Majesty will reportedly now grant the title to Prince Edward instead, in recognition of his younger brother's ongoing service to the Royal Family.

Princess Charlotte may miss out on a special title following King Charles III's decision to grant it to another member of the Royal Family, according to an insider.
It's understood that His Majesty had originally hoped to make the only daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton the 'Duke of Edinburgh' when she was old enough but has now had a 'change' of heart'.
The 74-year-old will reportedly instead now give the substantive title to his youngest brother, Prince Edward, in recognition of the royal's ongoing service over the years.
It's also been reported in the Mirror.co.uk that the Earl of Wessex was irritated that Charles was planning to make Princess Charlotte, 7, the 'Duchess of Edinburgh', viewing the decision to be a 'slap in the face' after all he'd done to support King Charles during Prince Andrew's sex abuse case.
It's understood that Prince Edward, 58, had also been expecting to receive the title after being 'promised' its inheritance by the Queen before she died and had even intended for it to be "passed down to his son, Viscount Severn." If Princess Charlotte was to receive the title, she would have been the first-ever Duchess of Edinburgh.
"Now it does look like the tide is turning," the source, who is reportedly close to Prince Edward, added. "Clearly the King has had time to reflect on the late Queen’s wishes."
