She descended from Philippe II Duc d'Orléans (1674-1723), and thus from King James I & VI.

So, the Telegraph, or someone, doesn't get titles right. Also, looking at the sources available to me, the son is probably going to be the last Baron Derwent, unless his elder sister is successful in extending the remainder to daughters.
