The title is always held by the monarch as head of the royal Duchy of Lancaster, historically Lancaster being the county town of Lancashire. No matter if the sovereign is male or female, they always retain the style of duke, [2] therefore the variant second line never changes even if "God save the Queen" changes to "God save the King" and vice versa.The historical concept of the long century is well known.
