Who is the Earl of Wessex? Allow me to introduce James, previously known as Viscount Severn, the child of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.


Introducing James, the Earl of Wessex, a captivating and enigmatic figure in the royal realm. Formerly known as Viscount Severn, he is the son of the esteemed Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, who are celebrating their remarkable 25th wedding anniversary. As the day unfolds, it is certain that the Duke and Duchess will revel in the company of their cherished children, Lady Louise Windsor and the illustrious James, Earl of Wessex.

Unlike his sister, Lady Louise Windsor, James has led a life away from the prying eyes of the public. However, on special occasions such as the coronation and Trooping the Colour, he graces the spotlight alongside his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, who were formerly known as the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

Let us delve into the intriguing life of the Earl of Wessex.

James, born on the 17th of December 2007, entered the world through a caesarean section at Frimley Park Hospital. He is the second child and only son of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, with his full name, James Alexander Philip Theo, paying homage to his grandfather, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Edward, announcing his son's birth, described him as "very cute and very cuddly." This joyous occasion was a stark contrast to the traumatic birth of Lady Louise, who arrived four weeks premature in 2003. Prior to conceiving Lady Louise, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, endured a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy.
