The dukedom, marquessate and earldom of Kent all became extinct, as the duke had survived all of his sons and had no male collateral heirs.

However, two subsidiary titles (the barony of Lucas of Crudwell and the marquessate of Grey) passed to his granddaughter, Jemima Yorke.

The Prince Edward Augustus was created Duke of Kent and Strathearn in the peerage of Great Britain by his father, George III, in 1799.

[2] In 1818, he married Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, the daughter of Duke Francis and former regent of the Principality of Leiningen.

George died in 1942, leaving his peerage titles to his six-year-old son, Prince Edward.

[13] Subsidiary titles: Countess of Harold, Viscountess Goderich, Baroness Lucas of Crudwell.
