 Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife, ( 10 November 1840 - 12 January 1912) was a Scottish peer who married Louise, Princess Royal and Duchess of Fife, the third child and eldest daughter of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and Queen Alexandra.
The result was that he held two Dukedoms of Fife; the 1887 creation (with the subsidiary Marquessate of Macduff) would become extinct in the absence of a son and the 1900 creation (with the subsidiary Earldom of Macduff) would devolve upon his elder daughter in the absence of a son.
In November 1905, his father-in-law, now King Edward VII, bestowed the title Princess Royal on the Duchess of Fife and declared that Lady Alexandra Duff and Lady Maud Duff should henceforth hold the title of Princess of Great Britain and Ireland with the style Highness.
