Didn't really know the answer, but since both the Princes are dukes, I figured that had to be it.

I got the answer by thinking of the two highest ranked men in the British Commonwealth; the DUKE of Edinburgh and the DUKE of Cornwall (i.e., the Queen's husband and eldest son).

Ted DeBeurre, Did Mary ever visit Brighton Beach? (Knight wasn't included bc it wasn't hereditary, but I suppose you can add kid on the end or something)

Player #7929563, Sir is actually the title used when you're knighted. so Knight =Sir.

Viscount Tonypandy was a commoner. He was born in the Rhondda valley here in South Wales.

As an SEA who has only a President leading the country, the system that governs monarchial ascendency makes me ignorant. Thanks to this game. Somethings are added to my stock of knowledge.

Like the Duke of Edinburg who just passed away. I am part British and feel like I’ve lost a relative. God rest his soul

A caste system and celebrity cult by birthright. That’s all there is to it.

Sorry to be pedantic, but Baronet and Knight are not part of the "peerage". Baronets hold the hereditary title of "Sir", not "Lord" which is how the members of the peerage are referred to. Knights are those who have been granted knighthoods, which while am honour is not hereditary (ie cannot be inherited unlike a Baronetcy).

I'm an Aussie, yet I read alot of historical romances specifically English ones set in Georgian times. So I knew a Duke was the highest in the nobility but still get the order of the others confused.
