Duke of Kent

Duke of Kent is a title which has been created various times in the peerages of Great Britain and the United Kingdom, most recently as a royal dukedom for the fourth son of King George V of the United Kingdom.

The title was first granted to Henry de Grey, the eleventh Earl and first Marquess of Kent. The dukedom and marquessate became extinct at his death.

The title (in the form "Duke of Kent and Strathearn") was granted to Prince Edward Augustus, the fourth son of King George III. Upon his death, the title became extinct, as he had no sons. (His only child was Victoria, who would later become Queen of the United Kingdom.)

The title was most recently given to Prince George, the fourth son of King George V. It is presently held by Prince George's son, Prince Edward. The heir is George Philip Nicholas Windsor, Earl of St Andrews.
