As Duke of Atholl he has the right to raise Europe’s only legal private army, named the Atholl Highlanders (a unique privilege granted to his family by Queen Victoria after visiting Blair Atholl in 1844).
Queen Victoria was born Princess Victoria of Kent, fifth in line to the throne. As her grandfather, father and uncles died she gradually rose up the line of succession. For a period of three months between December 1820 and March 1821 she was pushed back down the line of succession as the result of the birth of a cousin nearer than she to the throne. The death of that cousin paved the way for Victoria to succeed to the throne in 1837 on the death of her uncle King William IV.
