Talk:Kyril, Prince of Preslav

Styled?

What does this mean? Self-styled pretender to a non-existent throne? Gene Nygaard 14:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Self-styled appears to be a term of art when speaking about contemporary European royalty, and it's probably best not to read too much into it. Self-styled encompasses royal families who are both in and out of Constitutional power. It sort of puts them all on equal footing, as if the 20th C hadn't really happened.

In fact, I don't think Kyrill of Saxe-Coburg has ever made claims to power. He is simply who he is by birth, and by the obvious lines of succession had his father not been deposed before his birth. When Kyrill was a bachelor, he was followed by the likes of "Hola!" magazine for years (he is handsome and photogenic). I think some expected him to marry back into royalty.

So, why has this since been moved to "Kyrill, Prince of Preslav"? He is not a prince of anything. Gene Nygaard 17:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Kyrill, Prince of Preslav → Kyrill Saxe-Coberg — He is not a prince of anything. Furthermore, Preslav itself is nothing but a ghost town. He is not even a self-styled prince of a non-existent monarchy. He makes no claims to the defunct throne, nor does his father. This is only prince-cruft by other people, who dream about the good old days wish for him to marry a princess and live happily ever after. Gene Nygaard 18:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

That was my typo, if changed it should go to Kyrill Saxe-Coburg with a u, as Morhange pointed out below. Gene Nygaard 00:48, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose - He is a pretender. There's no such place as Prussia anymore, but the Prussian pretender is still known as the Prince of Prussia. The French Orleanist pretender still grants his children titles, even though France has been a republic for decades and he has no legal right to give these titles, some of which are, I think, extinct provinces. As far as I know, the heir to the Bulgarian throne, extant or not, is known as the Prince of Preslav, so this should stay here. Morhange 23:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

No, he is not. Furthermore, even if he were, it is Princes who might have that title in their article name IAW WP:NC, not pretenders. And no, Kyrill, Pretend Prince of Preslav wouldn't work either, but since he isn't a pretender in the first place, it is irrelevant. Gene Nygaard 00:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Ack. I had confused him with his older brother, Kardam. Kyrill's not the first in line of the non-existant throne, but by courtesey, as the second son of the ex-King of Bulgaria, IS styled Prince of Preslav. Morhange 08:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Oppose The pretense is his only claim to notability, so it will probably be searched for. Septentrionalis 18:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. If we moved this, then we would have to more all those who are members of former ruling Royal Family, including the French, German, Italian, Russian etc etc. This is how he is always known, whether its strictly legal or not. --Berks105 11:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

Add any additional comments:

Note further that no reason was ever given for a previous move from Kyrill of Preslav to Kyrill, Prince of Preslav, done by User:Astorknlam on 13 June 2006, and no evidence supporting either name has ever been provided. Gene Nygaard 18:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

He also appears to be a Spaniard, by residence as well as by birth, American-educated and having lived at some time in London. Gene Nygaard 18:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

If this does get moved, it should be to Kyrill Saxe-Coburg. It's spelled with a U, not an E. And it was probably moved because Kyrill of Preslav makes it seem like he is either a consort or a non-numbered king. The Prince of Wales isn't at Charles of Wales, nor are his sons at William/Henry of Wales, so the move made sense. Morhange 23:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, my typo. Yes, it should be a u. Gene Nygaard 00:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Citations, edits, wikipedia standard formatting

Hello. I tried to fix this article a little bit in compliance with the formatting standards. I also did some work on the references issue. This article certainly needs a lot more work on citing sources and fixing grammatical problems. I will do some further work on those issues and will appreciate some feedback and suggestions. I tried not to tamper too much with the content. I hope I have been more helpful than harmful to this article! --Ashley Rovira (talk) 18:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Rosario Nadal, his wife

Is it necessary to list so many of her ancestors on the page? Won't it suffice to simply state her parents, and then perhaps note that she is descended from a long line of Spanish aristocracy? It seems unnecessary to have such detailed background for her on her husband's article. --Ashley Rovira (talk) 18:36, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree. Especially because her ancestry can be listed on her own article. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 18:57, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Name again

It is quite clear that this person's name is "Kyril Sakskoburggotski". In the article it says that "by courtesy" he is being called a prince. However, since there is no longer any monarchy in Bulgaria, there are no longer any princes, as much as some people might wish to the contrary. This is an encyclopedia that states plain facts without fear, favor or courtesy. Please check the versions in other languages, also for his father. --Bernardoni (talk) 03:16, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Where are the sources which refer to him as "Kyril Sakskoburggotski", because most of those I've seen refer to him as "Prince Kyril". FactStraight (talk) 17:29, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
