I propose that this page be moved to Birgitta, Princess of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen to comply with Wiki protocols and her own wishes. Yanksta x 22:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would comply to Wiki protocols if that usage for her wasn't almost entirely unknown. The Princess is known mostly by her "maiden" title, which she still retains. Charles 23:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any sources stating that Princess of Hohenzollern-Signaringen is her prefered title? If so, then I would have to go with that, even though Princess of Sweden is more widely known. Until that time, I say she should stay where she is. Prsgoddess187 00:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There have been no princesses of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen for over a hundred years; they are all just princesses of Hohenzollern. Noel S McFerran 14:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HRH

[edit]

The court lists Birgitta as "HKH" * [[1]] which according to acroymfinder means HKH Hans Kunliga Höghet/Hennes Kungliga Höghet (Swedish: His/Her Royal Highness) * [[2]]--CSvBibra (talk) 20:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, you seem to be right so either they must have changed their policy in that regard or this was an exception to the specific instructions they gave me verbally about 10 years ago, when a friend wanted to write to her properly. They are not the most reliable or consistent royal court in the world. Will you add the ref or should I? SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:48, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Go ahead.--CSvBibra (talk) 16:50, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Explanation about the Succession

[edit]

It is true that, under Swedish law, princes and princesses of the Royal House who are not Lutheran are excluded from the sucession to the throne. Birgitta and her children, however, would have been excluded anyway even if she had not converted to Catholicism since, under the amended Act of Succession, only the descendants of King Carl XVi Gustaf and Prince Bertil were in the line to the throne.161.24.19.112 (talk) 12:33, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

She was excluded from deliberations about whether or not the amended act should begin with her grandfather or her brother. Since she was no longer Lutheran, that matter did not even need to be decided. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:17, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Did she become Catholic? All the article says is that she tried to become Catholic when she got married, but it was denied. It never says she later became Catholic. 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:35FE:5C20:AE7:97BB (talk) 03:06, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No she did not. Thank you for helping with an update here. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:10, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Dowager" unsourced

[edit]

Unsourced dowager titles are being added to some articles and this has been addressed on the user's talk page. Time to stop adding unsourced info. Just because a titled woman is a widow does not mean she is known as "dowager". If she is, there's bound to be a reliable source. No source? No-no. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:53, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
