British King Charles III is celebrating Prince Edward's 59th birthday in a major way.
As the statement read,"The new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are proud to continue Prince Philip's legacy of promoting opportunities for young people of all backgrounds to reach their full potential."
Near the end of Prince Philip's life and after his passing, Prince Edward helped support many of his father's initiatives, including the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. While the decision about the dukedom was ultimately left to King Charles III, there had reportedly been an understanding that Prince Edward would eventually take on Prince Philip's title.
