[edit] Royal peers and ordinals

Royals usually don't use ordinals, so this page probably should be at Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, just like Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, and so on. -- Lord Emsworth 02:52, Jan 9, 2004 (UTC)

I realize that royal peers do not use ordinals. I have no objection to changing the title the title of the page from Prince Adolphus, 1st Duke of Cambridge and Prince George, 2nd Duke of Cambridge to Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge and Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, respectively, for the sake of consistency.

[edit] War Office Act 1870

The War Office Act was passed in parliament and given royal assent in 1870, not 1881 as previously listed, according to both "The Mid-Victorian Generation, 1846-1886" (p.602) and "The Historical Dictionary of the British Empire" (p.249).

This has been corrected in the article. Dormskirk (talk) 20:38, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Line of succession

Am I right in thinking that he was the next in line of succession to Queen Victoria, until she produced a male heir? If so, worth adding. Or would Cumberland/Hanover have resumed holding the two thrones? Johnbod (talk) 17:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Candidate for hand of Alexandrina Victoria

I vaguely remember seeing ages ago a contemporary cartoon on the rival claims of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and the then Prince George of Cambridge to the hand of Queen Victoria, and I recently watched The Young Victoria in which the scheme was mentioned. Might anyone have a source for this? Opera hat (talk) 21:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Marriage

I've removed this:
"As the marriage did not exist in British law"
from the "Marriage and mistresses" section, as I'm pretty sure it's untrue. The marriage was contrary to the Royal Marriages Act, which had the effects descibed, but they were still married (and consequently the children of the marriage (just Augustus, in this case) would be legitimate).
