DUCHESS HAS TITLE
IN HER OWN RIGHT
Created a Princess by Edward
VII. on His Birthday, No?
vember 9, 1905.
? MV i.a maiioum: i>k KO.VTBXbV.]
ENGLAND has now, through the'
death of thO DuUt! of Fife, a !
duchess In h?r own ?Iglu, for
ttic tlrst time In forty years.
Uiat |y to soy. since the death of
Queen Victoria'.-, left-hand aunt, the'
'luchess of Inverness. \viior>as tho
latter, despite her union to ,t member
of the reigning family, did not enjoy I
any princely rank, and Indeed never!
reully figured at court, the n>w (tuchesMj
of Fife was created a prince?;: by her:
I grandfather, bid ward Vll., his
idnhday, November 1003 lie be. j
stowed a similar title upon lid voung
1 er sister, until then known as" Lady
Maud Duff (the patronymic 01 tht late'
iiuk.- of Elf el. and provided ? t.u both!
of the new-Hedged princesses should
enjoy th" predicate or ??Highness." and'
should rank Immediately iftor and!
next to those members of tlie reigning
family bearing the. rftyle -.f Royal lllgh
. Hess,
' That is 10 say. the new Dncrcss of
Hfe enjoys tho "pas'- of all the I'rinces
and I't-incessiS of Battenberg, and also,
I of the two daughter- of princess Chris-I
Itlun of Schleswig-Holstein, tamely,
the Princesses Ia>uIso lind Victoria of
mat Ilk. This Is onlv fair, since thel
new Duohess of Fife; or, rather I should'
say It-r mother, thi new widowed Prln-I
ecsa Itoyal come Immediately aftei the
children ot King George, in :he line
of succession to the throne.
Should the Duchess of Pit ? wed a
commoner, ho Would In no wns.' of the'
word ?hure h?-r honors. Uui her Duke?
dom or Fife,- along with her Earldom
oi Macduft, though not her 11 tt-- of
I Prince, nor yet her 'tualtflcauon oft
[Highness, would go at h.-r death to herl
; son. or falling h- r fon. to her daugh
ted. while should the. die without is?
sue, the dukedom und earldom would
. descend to her sister. Princess Maud,
and to the lattcr's children.
In b.'."towing these honors upon his
1 two granddaughters, King Edward neg
1 s< ted one thing. He f-tlloJ to des<g
I nate. of what they were princesses
I Presumably he meant them to tigun
a.u Princesses of Great nrltaln and Irc
: md. nut he neglected to arrange f?r
j ;his. and as they could not very well
be described as the Princesses Duff
(which was their father's faintly name)
they ended by bo'hg described, both at
home and abroad, us the Princesses of
Pile.
In rone ot the obltuartis of the Dnk.i
of Fife have I seen it mentioned that
fourteen years ago the ofllca of Gov
ernor-Oenorol ot Canada waa pressed
upon him by Joseph Chambjrlaln, at
that time Secretary of State for the
Colonies. The duk<-- was obliged to de
cllnc, on account of the health of hi*
wife, the Princess Royal, and 1 have
hi fore me 0 copy of a letter of the
lat< iluke. explaining this reason Mr
his refusal of the post.
In th?_- letter the duke irave expret
ston to the hope, apparently shared by
his royal relatives, that at some future
time Kinir Geurgo's son* might be rep?
resenting their father as Governors
General of the four great colonial de?
pend .-ncies', namely, the Dominion of
Canada, Australia, India, and BrltlsS
.South Africa, on the ground that loy?
ally to the crown, and affection for the
royal family constitute the most pow?
erful bond that links the colonies to
tho mother country, and that with a
royal prince as Governor-General this
bond will bs emphasised and strength?
ened, as Is now the case In Canada,
through the presence of the Duke of
Connaught, at Rldeau Hall. Ottawa.
Duchesses in their own right havi
be in few and far between In England
I at any rate, In modern MmcF. Tho on
i ly Instance beside that of the nc^
'? young Duchess of Elfe, within the las
. hundred years, has been that of th'
Duchess of Inverness, to whom lefer
encc has been made above. Tlia Duke |
of Sussex, her husband, was the one of
Queen Victoria's uncles with whom,
l.e war- on thi most affectionate t?rms,.
who had repeatedly befriended her tno-I
iher and herself against William IV.
during the kilter's reign, and who
bad declined to b? a party to all those
difficulties, oil the score Of precedence
land rank, which wet" made at tho tinio
of her marriage, and during several
years aft?.' wards, by her other uncles
nnd royal relatives, about her consort,
Prince Albert.
it was In recognition of the old
j duke's invariable kindness that Queen
Victoria bestowed, shortly before his
death, the tltls of Duchess of Inver
[ r.rss upon Lady Cecilia Buggln. widow
I of Sir Gr-orffi Buggln. daughter of the
I se.cond Earl of Arran, .ind who liad
contracted In t$:il an ecclesiastical mar-,
riage abrc-ad with th' Duke of Sussex.
! a union which, though valid abroad,
wan illegal In England, owing to its
1 having been contracted without ths
previous permission of the sovereign In
council, as prescribed by the laws deal-'
Injf with member? of the reigning fam-|
lly. ?
The Duchess of fnverirsss survived
the Duke of Sussex for thirty-one years,
dying without Issue, and though she
was frequently visited by juecn Vic?
toria, and hy the other members of
th3 reigning family, who treated her
with the utmost consideration ami
kindness, yet she never appeared at
court, or at any public function, living.
In the strictest retirement. In the apar:
nients at Kensington Pulnce, which J
hnd be m placed at her disposal by
Queen Victoria. |
For other duchesses in their own
riirht. 11 Is necessary to go hack to!
the reign of Charles II.. who bestowed I
dukedoms upon several of lii^ fair fa-1
vorltes, Including the tltl^ or Duchess
of Portsmouth, upon the Brotonne
Countess Louise de Quorouallles, j
through him, the ancestress of ihe.i
DnUes of Richmond, and Hint of Ditch-!
ess of Cleveland, upon Barbara VHIIer*-,'
who bus th - bucestross, through him.j
of the Dukes of Crnfton.
To a more reputable category be
longed Anne, Countess of Buccleucli,
Whom Charles 11. created Duchess of
Bucclcuch, In her own rlglii. on the
', occa.-lon of her man lag. to the Duke
or Jtonmouth, hi; illegitimate ?on, by
l.uoy Waiter;. Win11 the Duke of
Monmotith was convicted of treason
and t-ent 10 the scaffold, by his uncle.
King James II.. his own honors were
i attainted and forfeited. But those
which his wif> enjoyed in her own
right, namely, the Dukedom ol liuc
clech, with the Earldom of Dal
keltl;. remained unaffected, and de?
scended at her death to her grand?
son. Francis, who became Second Duk i
; of Bucclcuch. J
There is some doubt as to whether
I the Dukedom of Marlborough is not
j heritable In the female line, owing to
the fact of Its having hem created
; with remainder to tlit fit s', duke's
I daughters, a special act of i'arlla
j ment having been passed, with royal
; assent, providing that, since hr had no
1 surviving male issue, his honors
I should go to his "posterity." TherJ
(has never been any dnnger. ilhee the
1 succession of the great dukb's grand
I son. Charles Spencer, as third Duke of
I Marlborough. of any failure of heirs
! In tlvj male line direct, tin. honors;
I descending from fathor to son.
I Hut wen- anything untoward to hap
! pen to the two Hub- boys of Hu press?
ant Duke of Marlborough; and 6| his
American wife (daughter of W. K. |
I Vanderbllt). it Is a great question,
'whether the dukedom would go to bis!
: eldest sister. Lady Francis, married to.
Sir Robert Gresley, or to his cousin,
Winston Churchill, tlr*t Lord of thel
Admiralty, as eldest 3?n of Lho late;
Loid Randolph Churchill, only brother
of the eighth Duke of Marlborough- |
