Talk:List of heirs apparent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Caroline, Hereditary Princess of Monaco

The article for Caroline, Hereditary Princess of Monaco, Princess of Hanover specifies that the title "Hereditary Prince(ss)" is given, in the absense of any heir apparent, to the heir presumptive, which is the case with Princess Caroline. Although he has stated that he will not, her brother Prince Albert could hypothetically marry the mother of one of his illegitimate children or, more likely, marry and produce a child—either of these cases would cause Caroline to be displaced as first in line to the throne, which by definition makes her heiress presumptive. The article on heirs apparent even specifies that Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden is the only current heiress apparent to a throne, meaningfully failing to mention Princess Caroline. In accordance with all this irrefutable evidence, I will remove Caroline from this list and from the corresponding category, and if I can find similar pages on heirs presumptive I will add her there. Unless this is proven to be wrong, please do not re-add Princess Caroline to this list. Andrei Iosifovich (talk) 23:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
