What title was Louis known as after renouncing his German titles?
Duke of Edinburgh
Earl of Sussex
Marquess of Milford Haven
Viscount of Windsor
Answer
The Marquess of Milford Haven title was bestowed upon Prince Louis of Battenberg, a British naval officer and a member of the Battenberg family, after he relinquished his German titles during World War I. This change was made to distance himself from his German heritage and to demonstrate his loyalty to the British crown during a time of conflict between the two nations.
