Dia belajar di [[Jesus College, Cambridge]], dan lulus dari [[Universitas Cambridge]] pada tahun 1986 dengan gelar [[Sarjana Seni]]. Setelah tugas singkat di [[Marinir Kerajaan|Royal Marines]], Edward bekerja sebagai asisten produksi teater di [[Really Useful Theater Company]] sebelum membantu produksi televisi. Dia kemudian membentuk perusahaannya sendiri, Ardent Productions.
Edward mengundurkan diri dari perusahaan pada tahun 2002 untuk memulai tugas penuh waktu sebagai anggota keluarga kerajaan yang bekerja, dan melakukan perjanjian atas nama Ratu Elizabeth II. Dia memegang perlindungan di lebih dari 70 badan amal dan organisasi, termasuk [[Teater Pemuda Nasional]], [[Aliansi Olahraga dan Rekreasi]] dan [[Asosiasi Paralimpiade Inggris]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Earl of Wessex|date=13 November 2015|url=https://www.royal.uk/the-earl-of-wessex?page=1|publisher=The Royal Family|access-date=11 Maret 2023|archive-date=17 Januari 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117001536/https://www.royal.uk/the-earl-of-wessex?page=1|url-status=live}}</ref> Pekerjaan amalnya berfokus pada [[seni]], atletik, dan pengembangan [[Penghargaan Duke of Edinburgh]], yang berpusat pada kebugaran, kesejahteraan, dan layanan masyarakat.

=== Teater dan televisi ===
Setelah meninggalkan Marinir, Edward memilih karir di bidang hiburan. Dia menugaskan ''[[Kriket (musikal)|Cricket]]'' musikal 1986 dari [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]] dan [[Tim Rice]], untuk perayaan ulang tahun ibunya yang ke-60, yang menghasilkan tawaran pekerjaan di Lloyd Webber's [[Grup yang Sangat Bermanfaat|Really Useful Theatre Company]], di mana dia bekerja sebagai asisten produksi musikal seperti ''[[The Phantom of the Opera (musikal 1986)|The Phantom of the Opera]]'', ''[[Ekspres cahaya bintang|Starlight Express]]'', dan ''[[Cats]]''.<ref>{{Cite news|date=19 January 1988|title=Prince Edward Joins the Theater at 'Lowest Rung'|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1988-01-19/entertainment/ca-37020_1_prince-edward-theater|work=LA Times|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170609020703/http://articles.latimes.com/1988-01-19/entertainment/ca-37020_1_prince-edward-theater|archive-date=9 June 2017|access-date=10 January 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> Saat di sana dia bertemu dengan aktris [[Ruthie Henshall]], yang dia kencani selama tiga tahun.
Perampokan pertama Edward ke dalam produksi televisi adalah programnya ''[[Turnamen Grand Knockout]]'', secara informal dikenal sebagai ''Ini Royal Knockout'', pada tanggal 15 Juni 1987, di mana empat tim yang disponsori olehnya, [[Anne, Putri Kerajaan|Putri Kerajaan]] dan [[Pangeran Andrew, Adipati York|Adipati]] dan [[Sarah, Adipatni York|Adipatni York]] bersaing untuk amal. Program tersebut dikritik oleh media dan publik, dan kemudian dilaporkan bahwa Ratu tidak mendukung acara tersebut, dengan para anggota istana menyarankan untuk tidak melakukannya.<ref>Ben Pimlott [https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/royals/readings/polish.html "Polishing Their Image"] {{Webarchive}}, extract from ''The Queen'', HarperCollins (1996) reprinted on the PBS Frontline webpage</ref> Program ini mengumpulkan lebih dari £1.500.000 untuk badan amal pilihannya.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Roseman|first=Daniel|date=21 April 1996|title=Was this the day when royalty lost the plot?|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/was-this-the-day-when-royalty-lost-the-plot-1305932.html|website=The Independent|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220718020635/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/was-this-the-day-when-royalty-lost-the-plot-1305932.html|archive-date=18 July 2022|access-date=17 July 2022|url-status=live}}</ref>
