How pompous is the current heading of this article's, Princess Louise, Princess Royal and Duchess of Fife! 217.140.193.123 8 July 2005 17:09 (UTC)

Not really pompous as those were her titles. (jayboy2005)

[edit] Name

Why isn't the article just Louise, Princess Royal? She has been the only Princess Royal with that name - just see Charlotte, Princess Royal and Victoria, Princess Royal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.154.135.138 (talk) 20:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

She was very commonly known as the Duchess of Fife, so this is why the article is where it is. PeterSymonds | talk 15:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unclear

Maybe I'm a little dense today, but why is there a title change on 22 January 1901 from Her Royal Highness Princess Louise to Her Royal Highness THE Princess Louise? I assume the date corresponds to Queen Victoria's death, but am I missing something else? Mapjc 02:44, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

The importance of that date here is not that Victoria died, but rather than Louise's father ascended the throne as Edward VII, so she became a child of the sovereign, and therefore "HRH The Prince/ss" ^† DBD 11:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
