Titles

Latest comment: 18 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

What would her title have been after her marriage (1866) and prior to her husband being made Duke of Teck (1871)? Following the pattern of her names, Princess Mary Adelaide, Princess of Teck, but that sounds horrible. Any one have any ideas. Prsgoddess187 19:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

During those years, The Times (including the Court Circular) variously referred to her as Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary Adelaide, Princess of Teck, Her Royal Highness Princess Mary Adelaide of Teck, and Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary Adelaide. --Jeff 23:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the info. Do you think that we should put something into the titles section? Like, HRH Princess MA, Princess of Teck (alternatively, PMA of Teck). Prsgoddess187 01:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why wasn't she Princess Francis? Astrotrain 14:35, 15 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

- Yes, according to the British convention that wives take their husband's titles and surnames. Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge technically became Her Royal Highness Princess Franz of Teck upon marriage (as a granddaughter of King George III in the male line, she remained a Royal Highness, even though her husband was only a Serene Highness). However, the Times and even the Court Circular referred to her inconsistently. There are references to His Serene Highness the Prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Teck, Princess Mary Adelaide, Princess of Teck and Her Royal Highness Princess of Teck, in addition to the titles and styles listed in my previous post, in the Court Circulars in the 1866-1871 period. --Jeff 00:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
