[edit] Order of precedence

The general order of precedence among dukes is:

  1. Dukes in the Peerage of England, in order of creation
  2. Dukes in the Peerage of Scotland, in order of creation
  3. Dukes in the Peerage of Great Britain, in order of creation
  4. Dukes in the Peerage of Ireland, in order of creation
  5. Dukes in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, in order of creation

with the following exceptions:

  • The Sovereign's Grace may accord any peer higher precedence than his date of creation would warrant.
  • The royal dukes are Dukes of the United Kingdom; but they rank higher in the order of precedence than the age of their titles would suggest, due to their close relationship to the monarch. The Prince of Wales holds precedence above all dukes, even royal dukes, although he is Duke of Cornwall and of Rothesay.
  • Dukes of Ireland whose dukedoms were created after 1801 yield precedence to earlier created Dukes of the United Kingdom.
