Prince Edward receives special title after completing King Charles key mission

Prince Edward received a special title as he performed key tasks assigned by King Charles during his seven-day trip to Canada.

The Prince of Edinburgh visited Prince Edward Island where he was requested by a lady for a hug.

As per CBC, Edward met local resident Barbara Bernard who recalled a sweet interaction with the Prince and shared he was a "good hugger," a new title for the King's youngest brother.

She said, "He came over and he was talking and the gesture of his hands went like this."

Barbara shared that Edward's gesture represented that he was about to give a hug. "And of course, I said: 'Is that for me?'"

The woman asked Edward, "Do you want a hug?" She added, "And then he goes 'ok!'... so, I got to hug him."

While reacting to the lady's comments, one fan wrote on X formerly known as Twitter, "How really cute! Nice she got to hug him, he really seems like a warm, charming guy after all so why not."

Notably, Prince Edward is set to travel to Canada's capital, Ottawa, on Tuesday to participate in Canada Day celebrations.

Prince Edward is on his first major solo overseas tour since being named Duke of Edinburgh in 2023.
