Wessex is still a recognised geographical area of south /southwest England and is in the Queens prerogative to grant titles as she wishes. I understand that this is a stop gap title for Edward until both The Queen and Prince Philip are dead when he will inherit his fathers title of Duke of Edinburgh.
For the title, see Earl of Wessex. Sophie, Countess of Wessex, GCVO (Sophie Helen; nÃ©e Rhys-Jones; born 20 January 1965), is the wife of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Married in 1999, she worked in public relations until 2002 and now assists her husband in his various activities.
