Did you know?

Here’s a quick royal snippet to impress your friends. Question: How is the Duke of Lancaster better known? Answer: The Queen. Reason: The Duchy of Lancaster is the most senior dukedom in the UK and the title is held by the reigning monarch.

But the term duke outranks duchess, or at least it did until they tried to tell Queen Victoria she should be known as duchess.

Since then, the title of duke goes to the monarch – regardless of their sex. You’ll be surprised at how many people guess William, Charles and even Prince George!
