Move

As she was a Queen Consort, shouldn't it be Charlotte, Princess Royal or Charlotte of Great Britain, Princess Royal to follow the NC, Victoria, Princess Royal and Empress Frederick is a perfect example. Prsgoddess187 16:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• Support. Wiki naming conventions for royals and nobility get to be insane: I'm all for paring down and simplifying, particularly when the conventions themselves call for it. QuartierLatin1968 18:35, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

  Yes, they are insane. Like me. I like that. ;) —Nightstallion (?) 10:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The picture is wrong

The picture of the article shows Charlotte, Princess of Wales, niece of Princess Royal Charlotte!

The new picture.

Indeed, it was the wrong picture.

Excuse my presumption, but since I had the book, a scanner, and a little time? I edited in one that is, most definitely, of Charlotte, Princess Royal. (Painted before her marriage).

I could use some advice on the copyright issues and how it's done through Wiki. But this scan, which I took from Flora Fraser's book on the daughters of George III. In the details of the image, I included the name of the artist, in what collection the picture is located, correct title, blah blah.

But yes!

I'm satisfied. :-) I have others from when she was married, but this one shows her in her status as Princess Royal, so I think it suits. She looks a lot like her father in this picture.

This image is fine, but Flora Fraser's book also has a more flattering picture of a younger Royal-- the painting of her and her two sisters Augusta and Elizabeth by Gainsborough, commissioned by her brother George, Prince of Wales. Might a crop from this painting be a better image for the article, or could the whole painting it be included somewhere?18.173.1.125 (talk) 19:31, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Title & Style

Is the style "H.R.H. The Princess Charlotte, Princess Royal" correct? I understood (misunderstood?) that women who were former holders of titles were styled this way, E.G. Sarah, Duchess of York as opposed to H.R.H. The Duchess of York. Jcuk (talk) 09:23, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Princess Anne is presently styled (short version) as HRH The Princess Royal. That's the correct style. She has chosen not to add Lady Laurence after it (Princess Alexandra goes by HRH The Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, so it's been done). Previously her style was HRH The Princess Anne, Mrs Mark Phillips. It seems she wasn't granted the title of The Princess Royal until 1987. This article is titled *Charlotte, Princess Royal* presumably to differentiate between the 7 of them. Anne's pg is at *Anne, Princess Royal*.

Sarah, Duchess of York is styled that way because she is divorced. Prior to the divorce, her style was simply HRH The Duchess of York (no name). Just like Diana was HRH The Princess of Wales, but Diana, Princess of Wales after the divorce. When a noblewoman or royal is divorced, their given name precedes their title as a way of announcing it. When there is no given name first, then she is still married (or a titleholder in her own right; an example of that would be Philippa, Countess of Ulster).ScarletRibbons (talk) 09:47, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
