Although this is a life peerage, it was not conferred under the <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Eliz2/6-7/21/section/1">Life Peerages Act 1958</a> since those peerages can only rank as barons. As a result, Prince Edward does not possess a seat in Parliament. These Letters Patent generally follow the wording prescribed by <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1992/1730/schedule/part/III./made">The Crown Office (Forms and Proclamations Rules) Order 1992</a>, though references to hereditary succession and a seat in Parliament have been removed.
