With no offense meant to these places, but Elizabeth II did really give them odd sounding names of towns/counties as part of their title. Sussex-Dumbarton-Kilkeel

To be fair, there weren’t many options for the dukedom. The only options were Sussex, Clarence, Windsor, Kendal, Ross, Albany, Cumberland, and Connaught.

Windsor, as we all know, was created for the abdicated king. It will likely never be recreated.

Albany and Cumberland were suspended after supporting Germany during WW1.

Connaught is part of the Republic of Ireland and no longer an option.

Ross wasn’t an option because there’s an Earl of Rosse that’s still extant (who is also related to the BRF through Antony Armstrong-Jones).

Kendal, despite being on the list, has never really been established as an official dukedom - it was promised to the son of James II but he died in infancy and never received it.

Which truly leaves only Sussex and Clarence available as legitimate options, both of which Harry was said to have discussed with The Queen, both of which don’t exactly have clean images: the first Duke of Sussex had his marriage declared illegitimate and the last Duke of Clarence (Albert Victor of Wales) had a bunch of sex scandals, including one about homosexuality, and has been alleged to be Jack the Ripper but Sussex is/was cleaner a title than Clarence.

Hence, Harry got Sussex.

For Dumbarton, the only thing I can guess is that it was available and its first creation went to a war hero so 🤷‍♀️. Maybe the grey suits thought it was fitting for Harry as he was also a war hero (maybe, ymmv). But I really don’t know and there hasn’t been a whole lot of writing on it.

Kilkeel, in Northern Ireland, has never been a barony before The Queen gave it to Harry. Best I can figure is that he needed an Irish title so the grey suits plucked it out of thin air.

Basically all of this means that there’s only one royal dukedom left: Duke of Clarence. If Charles is King when George marries, George is probably getting that title unless Charles creates a new royal dukedom for him. And the problem for why they’ve run out of royal dukedoms is because of inheritance. A title only becomes extinct when there are no heirs left because the tradition is to grant it to “male heirs of the body.” Thats why when Charles granted Edward Duke of Edinburgh, he limited it to Edward’s natural lifespan such that James can’t/won’t inherit it, thus preserving it for future royal use.

(Also royal titles cease being royal in the third generation. So in Harry’s case, he and Archie will have royal dukedoms but Archie’s son will not. The demarcation is whether the beholder of the title is the grandson of a monarch. So for instance Prince Edward/Duke of Kent is the grandson of a monarch so he had a royal dukedom but his son, the Earl of St. Andrews, is not the grandson of a monarch so when Prince Edward dies and the Earl inherits, Kent stops being a royal dukedom.)
