The Lady Maud Alexandra Victoria Georgina Bertha Duff was born at East Sheen Lodge. Her mother, Her Royal Highness Princess Louise, was the third child and eldest daughter of the then Prince and Princess of Wales. Her father, the Duke of Fife, was raised from an earldom to a dukedom by Queen Victoria two days after his marriage to Princess Louise in 1889. In 1900, Queen Victoria granted her father a second dukedom of Fife in the peerage of the United Kingdom with a special remainder providing for the succession of the Duke's daughters and their male descendants to the title, in default of a male heir. On 5 November 1905, King Edward VII declared her mother Princess Royal.
