  Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 27 June 1889, Lord Fife married Her Royal Highness Princess Louise of Wales, the eldest daughter of the then-Prince and Princess of Wales, at the Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace.
The Duke of Fife received a fresh patent as Duke of Fife and Earl of Macduff in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in April 1900, with special remainder to his daughters by Princess Louise and their male issue.
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 the United Kingdom, the current royal dukes are HRH the Prince of Wales, who is Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay; HRH the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip), HRH the Duke of York (Prince Andrew), HRH the Duke of Gloucester (Prince Richard), and HRH the Duke of Kent (Prince Edward).
Under the 20 November 1917 Letters Patent of King George V, the titular dignity of Prince/Princess and the style Royal Highness are restricted to the sons of a Sovereign, the sons of a Sovereign's sons, and the eldest living son of the eldest son of a Prince of Wales.
For example, when the current Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Kent are succeeded by their eldest sons, the Earl of Ulster and the Earl of St. Andrews, respectively, those peerages (or rather, the 1928 and 1934 creations of them) will cease to be associated with royalty.

 Braemar Guide :: History
Following the failure of the 1715 uprising, the estates of the now attainted and exiled Earl of Mar were sequestrated, and John Farquharson of Invercauld, always a rather reluctant Jacobite, was first imprisoned and then released.
The westernmost part of the Earl's land was bought by the astute entrepreneur William Duff of Dipple, later created Earl of Fife, and formed the nucleus of Mar Estate, while John Farquharson, now a Hanoverian, was allowed to purchase Braemar Castle and also part of the Earl's land.
Story-tellers used to tell of how, in the 16th century, following the hanging of a Lamont of Inverey by the Faquharsons, the victim's mother cursed his killers, prophesying that the tree her son was hanged on would still be fresh and green when there were no Farquharsons left on Deeside.
