Suspended Dukedoms
The dukedoms of Albany and Cumberland-and-Teviotdale are not vacant but were suspended in 1919, as their holders were also reigning German rulers when Britain was at war with Germany in World War I; there still exist heirs to these titles who could apply for their restoration.
The senior male line heir of the last Duke of Albany is Prince Hubertus of Saxe Coburg Gotha.
The senior male line heir of the last Duke of Cumberland is Prince Ernst August of Hanover, estranged husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco.

Famous quotes containing the word suspended:
“Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
