Elizabeth I chopped off the Earl of Essex's head because she had a soft spot for him and she didn't want to fall in love because she said she was married to England.

Why is hrh Prince Edward an earl of Essex and not a duke of Essex?

HRH Prince Edward is styled as the Earl of Wessex, not Essex, due to a title created for him by the Queen upon his marriage in 1999. The title of Duke is traditionally granted to royal family members, but Edward chose the earldom to reflect a more modern approach to royal titles. Moreover, the title of Duke of Essex does not currently exist, as it has been dormant since the 18th century. The choice of the earldom aligns with the tradition of granting lesser titles to younger sons of the monarch.
