thread_title: What??

message: that it was decreed in 1960 that the surname Mountbatten will in future generations be incorporated into the cadet branches of the British Royal Family; the descendants of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth would therefore have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.  Is that correct?Cosal 00:44, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: I read somewhere in Wikipedia

message: This may be obvious to everyone but me... however, I read the whole article trying in vain to find out WHERE these lovely princes & princesses were FROM!!  Is there some good reason why it doesn't say anywhere that this is a German noble family?  I know - it does say "of Hesse," but that only helps if you know where Hesse is, which I didn't until I followed the link.  On the disambiguation page it gives that information, but it would seem logical to me to have it in the article itself!  (Please forgive my parochialism - my European geography is *quite* rusty!)  --Mpwrmnt 07:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not trying to start an argument here -- but many of the so-called "noble" families of Europe do not fit neatly into any nationality box, since they all married (may be not always happily) across state and ethnic lines for dynastic reasons, to secure a possible future inheritance, to seal a peace treaty, to obtain a good dowry, etc. Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, for instance, was a grandson of Queen Victoria and a first cousin of the Tsar, and the British royal family received lots of "infusions" of "German" blood ever since the Hanoverians assumed the throne in London.

thread_title:  A *German* noble family? 

message: Does anyone know who this individual is who is on Facebook?  From what I can tell, it seems she is pretending to be a descentant of Lady Iris Mountbatten, daughter of the Marquess of Carisbrooke. Missionconsort (talk) 20:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lady Grania Mary Mountbatten 

message: For reasons known only to the writers,the Names have all been anglicized as: of Hartenau versus von Hartenau. I suggest that they be corrected. No doubt,the same drift of mind would have de become of in the Romance names. This is unacceptable,in my opinion.AptitudeDesign (talk) 20:38, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hartenau is the (geographical) name, not von Hartenau. What's von Hartenau in German becomes of Hartenau in English, just like the King of Sweden isn't called the King av Sverige here. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:34, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
