In the case of Jaime, he was granted the title to be used by his morganatic wive. But Jaime was always styled HRH Infante don Jaime.
No Spanish royal has ever been styled HRH the Duke/Duchess of N. Even a HRH and not Infante, Alfonso, Duke of Cadiz, was styled HRH don Alfonso de Borbón, Duke of Cadiz.

What about Francisco de Paula, duke of Cadiz, Enrique, duke of Seville, and more recently Jaime duke of Segovia ?
All were spanish infantes and styled as dukes. Previous Message
He was Duke of Talavera but, as I have said many times, Spanish Infantes and Infantas are never styled as Duke and Duchess, even if they have been granted a ducal title. But , contrary to Elena And Cristina, or Jaime , the ducal title was not granted to the royal, but to the consort. And when the Duchess was created Infanta in 1927, she ceased to be styled as Duchess of Talavera de la Reina. Previous Message
So, he was "only" Prince of Baviera and Infante of Spain.
Not even Duke Consorte nor Dowager Duke of Talavera after his 2nd wife, correct ? Previous Message
Although I have also read about it in several books, there is no document that he was granted it.
And the Almanach de Gotha makes no mention of that title in his entry. Previous Message
Found this article where Infante Fernando de Baviera allegedelly was created Duke of Cádiz by Alfonso XIII already in exile.
No date is mentioned.

But on Fernando's page, it is said that he asked A.XIII the duke of Cadiz title but the king refused it.

I've never heard Fernando being styled Dk of Cadiz.
Which one is correct ?
