== no surname, please == Question: Isn't Ingrid scond cousin to the Prince of Wales (Edw VIII)? her mother and George V were first cousins, both grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
per convention, kings and queens do not have a surname. Being a Mrs von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg is subsumed totally under of being HRH crown princess of Denmark. I shuld have guessed that it was the infamous Mowens who added that irrelevant and ridiculous piece of information. 217.140.193.123 21:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
They do have a surname. They just don't use them. Wikipedia correctly puts in the surname as it is a fact worth mentioning. FearÉIREANN

Actually, you are wrong re queen-consorts of Denmark. King Frederick IX did not have an official surname. And certainly his wife did not take his surname, even if he had one.
This trend here in Wikipedia where married surnames have been added to royals all and sundry, is ridiculous.
As she did not have a married surname, the only info re it would be that her husband belonged to the House of S-H-S-G. But even that belongs better to the article about the husband himself.
Could you please give evidence that the queen consort of Denmark legally had a married surname? evidence such as Danish register of residents? 217.140.193.123 20:53, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
