'''Duke of Edinburgh''', named after the capital city of [[Scotland]], [[Edinburgh]], is a [[substantive title]] that has been created four times since 1726 for members of the [[British royal family]]. It does not include any territorial landholdings and does not produce any revenue for the title-holder.

The current holder, [[Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Edward]], was created duke in 2023 on his 59th birthday by his eldest brother, King [[Charles III]]. The dukedom had previously been granted to their father, then [[Philip Mountbatten]], on the day of his marriage to then-Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen [[Elizabeth II]]. Upon Philip's death, the title was inherited by Charles and held by him until Elizabeth died and Charles became king, at which time the title reverted to [[the Crown]].
