Unfortunately, the analogy doesn't work, because in the real world, Edgar would be King. Bernard might be his regent.
In a fantasy kingdom, of course, you can arrange it so that sons inherit before grandsons, but at that point, just do whatever the hell is most convenient for you or inconvenient for the characters with the titles. because you've abandoned your English model of primogeniture.
