Maybe so, but you can bet your last copper coin the new duke won't pay a penny in inheritance tax.

Yep, very little. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/duke-of-westminster-son-avoids-inheritance-tax-billions-britains-richest-men-family-trusts-rules-a7998246.html

 

8.3 billion pounds and a fraction in death duties.

 

Time to whip some more benefits away from those poverty stricken scroungers and pensioners and close a hospital or two...

The last prince of former Indian kingdom Awadh, Cyrus, found dead about two months after his death in his overgrown palace:

According to this link (3rd from the top), Sir Roger Moon, died last month. He was just short of 103 and the oldest living baronet. The oldest living is now Sir Hereward Wake, who is 101.

Not explicitly stated, but I presume this baronetcy is now extinct as it doesn't look like there is an heir.

According to  The Peerage, he has three daughters, two of whom have issue.  Not sure how that works.

One of them takes the peerage, and the other has an issue with it.

Sir Hereward Wake, the 14th Baronet, who for an extremely short period of time was the oldest living Baronet, has died aged 101.

 

Edit: The Times, The Telegraph obituaries.
