Editing Duke of Edinburgh (section)

==1866 creation==

[[Queen Victoria]] re-created the title, this time in the [[Peerage of the United Kingdom]], on 24 May 1866 for her second son [[Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Prince Alfred]], instead of [[Duke of York]], the traditional title of the second son of the monarch. The subsidiary titles of the dukedom were [[Earl of Kent]] and [[Earl of Ulster]], also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=23119 |date=25 May 1866 |page=3127}}</ref> When Alfred became the [[Saxe-Coburg and Gotha#Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1826–1918)|Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]] in 1893, he retained his British titles. His only son that survived birth, [[Alfred, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]], committed suicide in 1899, so the Dukedom of Edinburgh and subsidiary titles became extinct upon the elder Alfred's death in 1900.<ref name=TCP/>
