When Princesses of Sweden contract unequal marriage they lose the Royal Highness prefix but retain the title of Princess [Christian name], Mrs [Married name]. How would verbally address this type of princess. Normally it would be Your Royal Highness but since they don't have that style. I am not sure what the correct title of address would be.

Probabely, one would address them Prinsessan (literally: "the Princess"). TV reporters and such are normally heard addressing the king Kungen ("the king"), the queen Drottningen ("the queen") and the children Kronrinsessan ("the Crown Princess"), Prinsen ("the Prince") and Prinsessan ("the Princess"). If I´m not mistaking, some reporters have already broken the barrier and addressed the Crown Princess with the ordinary second person singular pronoun "du". Pemer (talk) 23:22, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
