[edit] Proposed Merge into Prince of Monaco

I propose that Sovereign Prince of Monaco be merged into this article, Prince of Monaco. The two separate articles currently exist, apparently, because the same title, Prince, is used to refer to both the Monégasque ruler and to his/her agnatic cadets. The distinction between the two should, instead, be explained in the context of one article. "Sovereign" is not part of the ruler's legal title in Monaco (the Constitution and House Laws refer to "the reigning Prince", never to "the sovereign prince"). WP also explains the different uses of the princely title quite exhaustively at Prince. "Sovereign Prince" was understandably created to disambiguate from the already existing article on cadet princes of Monaco, but the better solution is a single merged article under the title Prince of Monaco.Lethiere 00:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
