Reference to a Duke in the UK's upper house of Parliament The House of Lords historically employed the prefix "the illustrious Duke" in the late 1800s. In the 21st century, it has been replaced by the generic prefix "the noble Duke" which is customarily used for all members of the House of Lords, irrespective of their rank.
In other countries, "The Most Illustrious" is rarely used, but rather "Illustrious Highness"
