King Charles’s gifts for Princess Charlotte would likely blend fun, education, and tradition, reflecting his personal interests as well as his aspirations for her future. True to royal tradition, each gift would carry symbolic meaning, chosen thoughtfully to inspire and guide Charlotte as a young member of the royal family. These tokens would be more than personal gestures—they would embody hopes and values intended to shape her path ahead.
The speculated shift aligns with King Charles’ rumored vision for a slimmer monarchy
Does King Charles III have something special planned for Princess Charlotte?
The Mail on Sunday claimed over the weekend that the King, who is 73 years old, might not give his brother Prince Edward the title of Duke of Edinburgh as was previously thought. Instead, he might one day make his niece Charlotte, who is seven years old, the Duchess of Edinburgh.Before she became queen, Queen Elizabeth II was called the Duchess of Edinburgh. Giving the title to Charlotte would fit with rumors that Charles wants the throne to be smaller in the modern era.
The Royal Collection Trust said that Prince Philip was made the Duke of Edinburgh, Baron Greenwich, and Earl of Merioneth the day before he married and became Princess Elizabeth in 1947. Before the Queen took the throne in 1952, the newlyweds were called the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. Prince Philip always dressed like the Duke of Edinburgh.
Kate’s title recognises King Charles’s ‘appreciation’ of the Princess of Wales
The monarch’s ‘beloved daughter-in-law’ is ‘a loyal and devoted servant to the Crown’
King Charles’s “appreciation” for Princess Kate is reflected in the honours he has given her, as she is a “beloved” member of the Royal Family, a royal author has said.
The monarch’s “beloved daughter-in-law” is “a loyal and devoted servant to the Crown”, Robert Jobson told The Royal Record.
Speaking to GB News’ Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker and GBNews.com’s Royal Editor Svar Nanan-Sen, Jobson suggested that the two royals have been “brought closer together” following their cancer diagnosis.
He added that the Princess is “a solution finder” who can “smooth the path” when disputes between William and Charles arise.

Jobson said: “He calls her his beloved daughter in law, he appreciates the way that he can get access to his grandchildren whenever he wants to.
“He appreciates the fact that she is such a loyal and devoted servant to the Crown, and he’s recognised that in the honours he has given her, as well as the way you can see that they interact in public together.
“I think it was significant, too, that when she was about to announce the terrible news that she was being treated, she had lunch with the King just prior to that, and they talked it over, and I think this cancer diagnosis has probably brought them closer together.”
The author said that having someone like Kate “is very, very helpful” for the Royal Family.

He said: “When there are issues with his son, William – and there have been a few over the years as they are both quite strong minded people – she’s been able to smooth his path to an easier route.
“And that’s always been very helpful because the King is not someone who has ever liked confrontation, so to have someone who is a solution finder, like Catherine, and the hub and the heart of the royal family is very, very helpful.
“She gets on swimmingly with Queen Camilla, as she did all those photographs for her, and they also get on very well.
“I think that’s very important to the King as well, because both these ladies are hugely important in his life.
Jobson added that there is a “glamorous side” to the Royal Family while it is also a “constitutional institution”.

GETTYKate is part of the “glamorous side”, according to Jobson.
He told the podcast: “King Charles knows how popular she [Princess Kate] is and he is also fully aware that there is a glamour side to royalty as well as it being a constitutional institution.
“She is the glamorous side of that institution, and therefore in terms of the popular press and television, he realises that if he is going to be at an engagement or she is going to be at an engagement, nine times out of ten, the cameras will be focused on her.
“He doesn’t have a problem with that and maybe when he was with Diana all those years ago, he may have done. Who knows?”
