Dukes of England

The Dukes of England are noble titles granted by the monarch, ranking just below a prince but above other nobles like earls and barons. Historically, dukes often held large territories and wielded significant power and influence. The title has been used for members of the royal family and prominent aristocrats, often inherited or bestowed for service to the crown. Today, being a duke is mostly a ceremonial honor with limited political power, but it retains cultural and historical significance, symbolizing high social standing within the UK's aristocratic hierarchy.
