別にエディンバラ公爵など、男爵以外の爵位を持っているからでしょうね。
グリニッジは公爵位ではないからです。

Greenwich is notable for its maritime history and for giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time. The town became the site of a royal palace, the Palace of Placentia from the 15th century, and was the birthplace of many Tudors, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The palace fell into disrepair during the English Civil War and was rebuilt as the Royal Naval Hospital for Sailors by Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor. These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained an establishment for military education until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation.
元々王宮があり、建物がだめになってサー・クリストファー・レンによって再建され、王立海軍大学となり、1998年までずっと英国の軍隊の教育機関のエスタブリッシュメントだった。そういういわれのある土地ですから、決して「そのへんの町」ではないですね。
