==Royal earldom (1866)== The next creation of a title of Kent was not that of [[Duke]] or [[Marquess]], but rather that of [[Earl]], with the creation of [[Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Prince Alfred]] (1844β1900), the second son of [[Queen Victoria]] and [[Albert, Prince Consort|Prince Albert]], as [[Duke of Edinburgh]], [[Earl of Ulster]], and of [[Earl of Kent|Kent]] in 1866. The Duke of Edinburgh (who later became the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) had only one son, [[Prince Alfred of Edinburgh|Prince Alfred]], who would have inherited his father's titles had he not died before his father in 1899. With Prince Alfred's death in 1900, the earldom became extinct.
