The Duke of Cheshire is a title in the British peerage, traditionally associated with the county of Cheshire in England. The title was created in 1831 and is part of the House of Lords, which is the upper house of the UK Parliament. The Duke's role includes representing the interests of the county and participating in ceremonial functions. The current holder of the title is often involved in various charitable activities and local events in Cheshire. The title is hereditary, meaning it is passed down through generations, typically to the eldest son. The Duke may also have a seat in the House of Lords if he chooses to take up his peerage.
