  • Support She wasn't a queen consort, but I think it should be at Princess Mafalda of Savoy instead. Morhange 21:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

  • The Savoys all need to be moved, unless we have a case like Prince Eugene of Savoy, when it was still a separate princely sovereignty, before it became part of something bigger. Gryffindor 11:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I rarely move a page - but in this case the change made in August was absolutely and totally wrong. The children of the king of Italy (with the exception of the eldest son) never use the style "prince of Italy"; they always use the style "prince of Savoy". Anybody with even the slightest knowledge of the Italian monarchy knows this. There are a small number of English-language works which mistakenly apply the title "prince of Italy" to members of this family - in spite of the fact that the family never claimed such a title - but these works are a tiny minority. May I ask people not to make significant changes in articles about which they know comparatively little? Noel S McFerran 21:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
