Royal Dukes
Are there any active Dukedoms in the UK, older than the Dukedoms of Kent and Gloucester, that are originally descended from a Royal Duke? I think that all the Dukedoms conferred upon Queen Victoria's male children have all become extinct or merged back with the Crown. I've researched back to George III and I can't seem to find any.

Albany and Cumberland
The Dukedoms of Albany and Cumberland were "suspended" during World War I because their current holders were supporting the German cause. However, I understand the possibility exists that they could be restored and that male heirs are still alive. The first Duke of Albany was Queen Victoria's youngest son, Leopold, while the current Cumberland Dukedom traces back to one of Queen Victoria's uncles.

Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg is the claimant to the Dukedom of Albany, and Prince Ernst August of Hannover is claimant to the Dukedom of Cumberland.

Actually, I'd forgotten, I don't believe royal dukedoms care about morganatic marriages, so the heir to Albany is Hubertus Prinz von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha
