Prince William got a bevy of titles as a gift from Queen Elizabeth II for his marriage to Catherine (or Kate) Middleton. Real titles come with quite a baggage of history, some quite recent, some more ancient. So William was saddled with the Duchy of Cambridge in England, the Earldom of Strathearn in Scotland, and the Barony of Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland.
I like history. If it is sometimes weird and wonderful, so much the better.

Prince George of Hanover, Duke of Cambridge
Prince George Duke
of Cambridge was the last holder of that title before Prince William. He led an
extraordinary life for his time. He had a most successful army career; he had
firm beliefs on how it should be run. He ran it accordingly and stuck to his preconceptions and prejudices without fail. His views
on private life were no less firm and for a Royal Prince highly unconventional.
