| Notes |
- He was born Prince Louis of Battenberg
During the Second World War, he was Supreme Allied Commander, South East Asia Command (1943'9646). He was the last Viceroy of India (1947) and the first Governor-General of independent India (1947'9648).
Since Mountbatten had no sons, when he was created Viscount Mountbatten of Burma, of Romsey in the County of Southampton on 27 August 1946 and then Earl Mountbatten of Burma and Baron Romsey, in the County of Southampton on 28 October 1947, the Letters Patent were drafted such that in the event he left no sons or issue in the male line, the titles could pass to his daughters, in order of seniority of birth, and to their heirs respectively.
