In modern times when a British prince was given a peerage, which usually meant being created a royal Duke, subsidiary titles (an Earl and a Baron) were also granted as a means to provide courtesy titles for his direct heirs (the eldest son and the eldest son's eldest son) to use during his lifetime.
The choice for territorial designation for the 3 titles were carefully chosen from places in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland (formerly Ireland) for the obvious reasons. In William's case, they are Cambridge (England), Strathearn (Scotland), and Carrickfergus (Northern Ireland), but they do NOT have to be in such order.
An interesting case was that of his uncle, Prince Edward, in which he asked to be created an Earl, instead of a Duke, like a Middle Ages prince. Moreover, the territorial designation chosen were Wessex (an ancient English kingdom) and Severn (a river).
