I know a duke is higher than, say, a baron, but what practical difference does it make these days?

Response from the Dukes: "A hell of a lot of a difference, and don't you forget it!"

Ha! The only dukes I have respect for are the ones who made their own way through life. Duke Ellington, for example.

Some Dukes have an innate ability to inspire men to follow them anywhere. For example:

Daisy Duke.

Meghan reveals pet name: hooker? call girl?
I know she a “yacht girl” at one time. That is where “actress’s go on yacht’s on rich men and well “entertain” them.

...his grandmother bought their son Archie a waffle maker for Christmas.

Does the waffle maker run on US or UK current?

He is a Duke because his peerages, while granted by Letters Patent by the Queen, can only be removed by Act of Parliament.

Parliament would have to pass another Titles Depravation Act like they did in 1917 for two German princes and an Austrian noble who had British Peerages.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titles_Deprivation_Act_1917

The Style of “His/Her Royal Highness “has not been removed but the Duke and Duchess have agree not to use it.

Their honorary military appointments and civilian patronages as members of the working Royal Family have been withdrawn.

They are no longer getting paid by the Crown for performing royal duties.

The Queen is too classy to do it, but putting an end to this would be for the Queen to drop Harry’s DNA test results upon the media.

It’s obvious he has no Chuckie DNA - definitely a positive. But how does the palace explain trampy Diane got prego from her horse riding instructor.
