Arms

The description says that the label for difference bears a lion rampant on the centre point, but the illustration seems to show a lion passant guardant. Which is correct? Opera hat (talk) 12:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alcoholism?

Is there any reason not to mention that he was an alcoholic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.111.52 (talk) 05:36, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Road Crash?

Did the Duke of Gloucester not get injured in a road crash - in the late 60s? Or am I, poor deluded fool, mixing him up with someone else? If I remember right, he was never seen in public afterwards, and his death was at least partly consequent on the injuries, albeit some years later. One thread elsewhere indicates that the Duke was 'diagnosed with porphyria', but I 'think' I remember the car crash, and remarking on not seing him ever again in public. This link http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f23/prince-william-of-gloucester-1941-1972-a-11354.html suggests that he had a stroke or strokes, and had been very badly affected by them - 'basically a vegetable' towards the end of his life. 21:00 15 February 2009 UTC Railtracksurvivor.

The road accident referred to occurred in 1965, en route home from funeral of Sir Winston Churchill (at which he was present as a Royal Family mourner). (Mentioned in Dictionary of National Biography.)Cloptonson (talk) 21:56, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Longest surviving

"Also at the time of his death in 1974, he was the longest surviving child of George V and Mary of Teck.

That kind of depends on your definition of "longest-surviving". He died after Edward VIII, but at a younger age. Tad Lincoln (talk) 08:56, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prince of Wales?

The article lists Henry as the Prince of Wales from 1901 to 1910. I believe his father, the later King George, was the actual holder of that title until he became king in 1910, at which point Henry's brother Edward was made Prince of Wales --Jimbosasto (talk) 09:42, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it lists him as "Prince Henry of Wales", the usual title for the son of the Prince of Wales. His father was at that time "George, Prince of Wales". Not the most brilliantly designed terminology, but that's how it is. Favonian (talk) 20:59, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My comments seem to post strangely. Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong --Jimbosasto (talk) 09:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The weird appearance was due to the spaces you had typed at the beginning of the lines. I've removed them. Favonian (talk) 20:59, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"...Required to stay in the UK until she came of age..."

The second paragraph seems to be contradicted by the third. What am I missing? Rothorpe (talk) 02:48, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To explain more fully, you believe Princess Elizabeth didn't come of age until age 21, in 1947, whereas Henry was made GG of Australia in 1945, when she was still only 19. It depends on how "coming of age" was defined at that time. However, following the precedents of Henry VIII and Victoria who both succeeded at age eighteen, Princess Elizabeth would only need a regent if she succeeded when younger than eighteen, not twenty-one.

Main page appearance

Just a note that Prince Henry (or rather, the picture of him at Eton as a schoolboy) will be appearing in the Did you know? section of the main page in about fifteen minutes and for about eight hours (illustrating the DYK hook on Anthony Chenevix-Trench). --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:41, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Was the Prince Henry an Aide-de-Camp to his father, brothers and niece? 74.69.121.132 (talk) 21:52, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
