Duchess of Cumberland is the principal courtesy title held by the wife of the Duke of Cumberland. So 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. The latter title has been vacant since the dukedom's suspension in 1919.
