The Duchess of Edinburgh was given her unexpected title when she married Prince Edward in 1999 - but was originally offered one that eventually went to the Princess of Wales in 2011

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have seen a huge and deserving rise in their popularity in recent years.

The news came as a surprise to the public as it was expected that the Queen's youngest son would be given a traditional Dukedom like his two elder brothers. It later came to light that the monarch had offered Edward the Dukedom of Cambridge , but he refused it for a very surprising reason. However, earlier this year in March to coincide with Prince Edward's 59th birthday, the couple saw their titles change once more when they became the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
