Some information about the 7th duchess and the cession in this link (found in her entry in wikipedia).

When the title was transmitted in 1968 (ceded from father to son), the 7th Duchess's descendants did not challenge it. I suppose it was part of the agreement reached.

Speaking of the rights of Lady Mae's descendants, I wonder how happy the seventh Duchess's descendants were/are with the arrangement.
