Talk:British princess

Queen Mary I believe it is incorrect to say that the "Victoria" in Queen Mary's name was not named after Queen Victoria. Her mother Princess Mary Adalaide was a 1st Cousin of Queen Victoria and I have certainly read biographies stating that Princess Victoria Mary (later Queen Mary) was named in honour of Queen Victoria. Sorry I cannot cite the sources. I do however think that some Wikipedia articles may refer to this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.123.185.230 (talk) 17:02, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I moved this page because it is not merely a list. --Jiang 22:22, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I guess you are right, although the list is a huge part, and the list of British monarch page is List of British monarchs. But as long as it links through, it is at least necessary for the link.

Anyway, I need to link in some birth and deaths of some of the princesses on the list, which should be in soon!!! Astrotrain

Have made the comments on The Lady Louise Windsor consistent with what is on that page. Jongarrettuk 06:26, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

male line

Someone changed "male-line grandchildren" to "grandchildren". While it is true that some children of daughters of sovereigns have had the royal style, so far as I know it was a special concession in each case; e.g. when the present queen was married (1947) the then king expressly granted the title to her future children, because she was heiress presumptive. (Charles and Anne, born 1948 and 1950, were beneficiaries of this.) The children of Princesses Margaret, Anne and Mary (Countess of Harewood) are royal grandchildren but without royal styles. —Tamfang 20:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

other

How would one classify Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (later Queen of Spain) who was granted the style of Royal Highness by King Edward VII on the eve of her marriage to the King of Spain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.59.205 (talk) 07:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Excellent point. This should be addressed and I added it under NOTES... see if you agree with my addition addressing this issue.

She was not a Princess of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which is I think normally what is meant by "British princess." But then, the Fife princesses were not princess of the United Kingdom either, so far as I know. If we include those, we should also mention Princess Helena Victoria and Princess Marie Louise, who dropped their Schleswig-Holstein titles in 1917 but were given the style of Highness and called "HH Princess Helena Victoria" and "HH Princess Marie Louise." john k (talk) 04:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Princesses married into other royal families

Would a princess who married into a foreign royal family prior to 1917 have been affected by George V's dropping of German titles? For example, his sister Maud of Wales, was married in 1896 to Charles of Denmark, and then in 1905 became Queen of Norway. Would she have dropped the "Princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" from her list of titles, even though she was by that time a member of another Royal Family? Prsgoddess187 09:15, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Uhhh, Princess by Marriage section?

Umm. I hesitate to point this out, because it's causing quite a stir on another page, but the section in regards to "Princess by Marriage" is in and of itself a misnomer. One does not become a "Princess" by marrying a Prince in the United Kingdom. There are only three ways to be a Princess of the United Kingdom; Daughter of the Monarch, Daughter of the Son of the Monarch, Be created one by Letters Patent from the Monarch.

This section needs to be changed.. Thoughts? Dphilp75 (talk) 01:27, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
