  Duke of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duke of Kent is a title which has been created various times in the peerages of Great Britain and the United Kingdom, most recently as a royal dukedom for the fourth son of King George V of the United Kingdom.
On 23 April 1799 the dukedom of Kent was, as a joint title with the dukedom of Strathearn and the earldom of Dublin, given to King George III's fourth son, Prince Edward Augustus.
The next creation of a title of Kent, was not that of Duke or Marquess, but rather that of Earl, with the creation of Prince Alfred (1844-1900), the second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, as Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Ulster, and of Kent in 1866.
