XV Duke of Hamilton and Brandon

I am sorry to have learned of the death of His Grace the 15th Duke of Hamilton, 12th Duke of Brandon and Premier Peer of Scotland.

Following the 15th Duke's funeral, he shall be succeeded by his son, Alexander Douglas, Marquess of Douglas and Clydesdale.

The Hamilton arms are not dissimilar to those of the Dukes of Abercorn. Indeed, the two dukedoms both claim as of right the French title, Duke of Châtellerault.
