Are there any front runners for the earldom and barony that Prince Harry will probably receive?
I agree that, for the reasons you gave, the queen will avoid conferring the Dukedom of Albany on Prince Harry, but for the same reasons, the German relatives will likewise avoid pursuing a claim. Since it is not clear if they are legitimate (in the United Kingdom), they also would be confronted with a controversial legal mess if they attempted to claim the title. In any event, I'm not sure German citizens would even be aware that the Titles Deprivation Act allows British titles to be reclaimed.
Some of the heirs are quite young.
Like I said, the queen may just want to avoid a whole mess. There would be constant talk and possible controversy if she grants that title. Why would she want to pile that on her grandson? While the title has a nice sound, its not the only title out there. And not the only one with historical importance left.
