The title Baron Greenwich was first created in 1767 for Caroline Townshend; the title recognized her deceased father’s own title, Duke of Greenwich. As Caroline’s two sons predecesed her, the title became extinct upon her death. It was created again in 1947 as a subsidiary title along with Duke of Edinburgh for Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, the husband of Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II).Source: Wikipedia
