Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale

Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale was a title in the Peerage of Great Britain that was held by junior members of the British royal family.

[1] Cumberland is a historic county in northwest England, while Teviotdale refers to the basin of the River Teviot in Scotland.

His son Ernest, while maintaining his claim to the kingdom of Hanover, was generally known by his title of Duke of Cumberland in Britain.

Under the Act, the lineal male heirs of the 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale have the right to petition the British Crown for the restoration of his peerages.

After the Union of Great Britain, the Hanoverian kings liked to grant double titles (one from one constituent country, one from another) to emphasise unity.
