Gawin, Thank you for the information on the House Laws. I was able to learn that Albert Edward, Prince of Wales not only renounced the succession for himself but for his heirs.
Did Prince Arthur of Connaught, son of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught have to separately sign paperwork to renounce royal rights?

Yes, Prince Arthur and his father renounced their rights to the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in favor of Charles Duke of Albany in a letter dated June 24, 1899 and submitted to the United Diet of the Duchies on June 30. They reserved their succession rights should Charles' male line become extinct.

What about the name of the duchies, as distinct from the duke? From your link, the Constitution of 1852 § 1 refers to them as "Die Herzogtümer Coburg und Gotha".
