Dukedom and Styles

At age 12, he became Duke of Königsblau after his older brother refused to carry on with the title he inherited from his grand-mother Duchess Elsa of Königsblau after her passing away on 1994. She outlived her only son, Santiago Alvarado, Hereditary Duke of Königsblau.

Styles

1985-1997 "His Grace, Juan José Alvarado-von Königsblau"

1997-present "His Ducal Serene Highness Duke Juan José of Königsblau" (alternate German version "seiner herzoglichen Durchlaucht, Herzog Hans Joseph von Königsblau"

Although the dukedom does not exist anymore and monarchy has been abolished in Germany, where the title originates, it is used as an honorary last name. Duke Juan José uses his legal name in Guatemala as Juan José Alvarado (ocassionally adding his mother's last name) and uses his title as a pen name for his written works, as the Duke of Königsblau, The Duke, or theDukeofKB.
