Au contraire! His title is actually GRAND Duke, which is a continental title not used in the U.K. The correct form address for holders of this title is "Your Highness."

"Gracie" to his intimates, no doubt.

That's Greek for "unworthy, unworthy, unworthy."

It's a pun based on what's said by the congregation at an ordination service in the Greek Orthodox Church to show their approval of the candidate's advancement. I guess Kevin is anticipating his own desired title.
