Yeah, exactly. I'm also pretty sure that when it comes to Knighthoods (I may be thinking of actual knights from the days of old) that when they died, they lost their title. The same goes for royal titles. I think it literally is that when someone on the household dies, the title (The Duchess of Cambridge, for example) will go back into a "pot" and the title will be reissued, making Catherine Middleton the former holder of the title. I only use her because it was the first one that I thought of; she's not that old :P That's how titles work, that's how they work here.
