    The title of Duke of Gloucester is a British Royal title often conferred on the son of the reigning king. It is often spelt 'Gloster' because it is pronounced [gloster].

    Gloustershire is a region in the South West of England. Gloucester is the name of the district and the name of the city of that region.
