	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.
