QuoteThe Earl and Countess of Wessex are set for a week of engagements in Scotland during mid-May as Prince Edward attends the Church of Scotland's General Assembly from 16th-24th May.

During this time, he and his wife will swap their 'HRHs' for the higher style of His and Her Grace, as Prince Edward takes up his appointment as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly – the first member of the Royal Family to be appointed to the position since the Duke of York was in 2007.

Interesting. Is this true? I haven't heard any more news on it.

Yet another misleading article from Royal Central - the position of Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is one that affords the bearer the style of 'His/Her Grace' for the duration of their whole term. Not just for the week  the Earl of Wessex spends in Scotland this coming May. In fact, every time he is in Scotland he will be styled as such until the commission is removed from him and given to someone else, and that will be whenever it might please Her Majesty The Queen.

^^^ Thanks for the confirmation. The author of this blog entry probably got confused. It did make me wonder though.
