i had written in the succession box that after alfred, prince philip was duke of edinburgh. it was deleted with the specification that philip did not inherit the title from alfred. that is very true, but that does not mean that philip was not duke of edinburgh after alfred and that no-one else was duke of edinburgh inbetween. just like with the title of princess royal where there can be difference of hundreds of years between two princesses royals and they don't inherit it from each other. it says nowhere that in order for someone to succeed he has to inherit what he succeeds...

[edit] Infoboxes

Which of these should we remove? I feel that the Ducal House of SCG can go, as the Royal Famiy would "outrank" the Ducal family. Two infoboxes like this makes for a cluttered article. Any ideas? Prsgoddess187 02:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

i agree with you, if one of them should go, it's the scg one. but i think the article is large enough to permit both of them. ilya 11:53, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
