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/>
