Duchess of Cumberland is the principal courtesy title held by the wife of the Duke of Cumberland.[1][2] Thus far only one woman has been Duchess of Cumberland alone but another has been Duchess of Cumberland & Strathearn and three more have been Duchess of Cumberland & Teviotdale.[3] The latter title has been vacant since the dukedom's suspension in 1919.[4]
