Until her husband's accession to the throne, Camilla, the second wife of the then-prince of Wales, used the title 'Duchess of Cornwall' rather than 'Princess of Wales', as the latter was still popularly associated with Charles's first wife, Diana, who died in 1997.[3]

- Arthurian legend depicts Cornwall with its own ducal family. Notably, King Arthur's mother, Igraine, would have been Duchess of Cornwall from her first marriage to Duke Gorlois; in some stories, the title is then passed on to their daughter, Morgan le Fay.
- Shakespeare's King Lear includes the character "Regan, Duchess of Cornwall", Lear's second daughter.
