Queen Elizabeth II, who asked British editors to refrain from publishing "personal and intimate" photographs which are about to appear in a French news magazine, pushes aside as her four year old son, Prince Edward, watches as their train draws into Kings Cross Station in London. Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex KG GCVO (Edward Antony Richard Louis; born 10 March 1964) is the third son and fourth (and youngest) child of Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh. At the time of his birth, he was third in the line of succession to the thrones of ten independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms.
