Which title did Louis relinquish in 1917?
Duke of Cumberland
Prince of Battenberg
Baron Greenwich
Earl of Bristol
Answer
The title Prince of Battenberg was relinquished by Louis in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during World War I. He was a naturalized British citizen of German descent and a member of the British royal family. To demonstrate his loyalty to Britain and distance himself from his German roots, Louis renounced his German titles and adopted the surname Mountbatten.
