Who is who in the mix-up?

Prince Edward, 62, King Charles' youngest sibling, has served as Colonel of the Scots Guards since April 2024 and carries a full-time working royal role with his wife Sophie. Their son James, 18, styled the Earl of Wessex, is not a working royal; reports say his future plans are unclear after Radley College. Lady Louise, 22, studies at the University of St. Andrews. The dukedom given to Edward in March 2023 was conferred for his lifetime and will later revert to the crown.
