ORDER OF PRECEDENCE


The general order of precedence among Dukes is:

# Dukes In The Peerage Of Scotland , in order of creation
# Dukes In The Peerage Of Great Britain , in order of creation
# Dukes In The Peerage Of Ireland , in order of creation
# 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.

  • Dukes of Ireland whose dukedoms were created after 1801 yield precedence to ''earlier created'' Dukes of the United Kingdom.
