“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.”
The new honours also pass down to other members of his immediate family, but not everyone.
The Duke’s birthday gift means that his son, James, the former Viscount Severn, becomes the new Earl of Wessex.
His daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, is the odd one out, as she is the only royal in the Edinburgh family not to have a title change.
