Alastair Bruce, a former equerry to the Earl and godfather to Edward’s son, said the 71-year-old will take on the prestigious title whether she likes it or not. This is despite previous plans to style the duchess as a Princess Consort when Charles, 70, eventually takes to the throne. Mr Bruce said it is simply a matter of "English law".
