The Last Dukes

A look at the lives of the last 24 non royal Dukes of England in the 21st century and some are of their homes.

The last dukedom was created by Queen Victoria in 1889 and it is unlikely any more will ever be created. What will become of those who remain? Do they have power and wealth?
