This is my guess. I'm American. I've never heard this phrase before.
There once was a Duke of Earl (I hope I spelled that right). Earl kind of sounds like the verb "hurl." To "hurl" is slang for "to vomit."
In African-American culture there is a pretty funny saying to "Go see Earl," which means to throw up. Maybe this is the same thing for brits, to "Go visit the Duke (Of hurl)?"
Anyone with me on this?
I say it means to vomit.
