Well, it seems the Dukedom won’t stay with the current Duke’s son’s line, but the Barony of Beaumont will separate from the Dukedom.

One wonders if the family estate will remain with the ducal line or go to the heirs of the next duke in the event of him not having any son.

I’m not doubting because of her age, but because very few people regardless of whether they are well-off tend to have fewer children these days.
 
One wonders if the family estate will remain with the ducal line or go to the heirs of the next duke in the event of him not having any son.
I don’t think the Arundel estate will go to the current Duke’s eldest son’s heirs. I think the current Earl of Arundel will have the estate till he passes on and pass it to the next male heir (the current Duke’s second son) if he has no son. Either way the 18th Duke has two other sons. I can’t imagine a future Duke losing access to the estate given the position that the family still holds at court
