Possibly, but that is by no means a given. All royal titles revert to the sovereign, who then determines what, if any, destination of that title will be allowed.

This line of argument presupposes that (1) the present Duke of Edinburgh outlives Her Majesty, and (2) that the letters patent creating HRH Prince Edward Duke of Edinburgh have not already received Royal Assent. As it was announced at the time when HRH Prince Edward received the title of Earl of Wessex that he would succeed his father as Duke of Edinburgh; I suspect, as they say in Ireland, that "the fix is in".
