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.
However, given the Prince's theatrical links and the Royal Family's policy of slimming down their size â and Edward's being seventh in the order of succession to the British throne, the Earldom of Wessex was recreated, Earl being a lesser title than Duke.
