Talk:Princess Margaret of Connaught

message: Out of curiosity, why isn't this at Princess Margaret of Connaught? Margaret died before her husband became king, so she can't be put as though she were queen-consort. Shouldn't this go at Princess Margaret of Connaught the way her daughter-in-law is still at Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha? Morhange 19:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that the Swedish version of her name is Margareta; however, the other Swedish Margarets are located at Princess Margaretha of Sweden and Princess Margaretha, Mrs. Ambler. Why is her Swedish name listed as Margareta? Morhange 00:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not quite so actually. The Crown Princess herself chose this particular spelling, which always has been more common in Sweden than the th version. The phonetic implications tend to be rather obvious, don't they? How her Swedish name would do in English in either spelling? I think she made the right choice. Her pen name (published at least one book through Norstedts) was Margareta, Kronprinsessa av Sverige. SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:57, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: If her father held only one dukedom called Dukedom of Connaught and Strathearn and the title of Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (not Duke of Connaught and Duke of Strathearn), then why wasn't she styled HRH Princess Margaret of Connaught and Strathearn? Surtsicna (talk) 12:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But Connaught and Strathearn were two separate dukedoms, weren't they? Anyone who holds two dukedoms is styled "Duke of X and Y", that doesn't mean "X and Y" has become a single dukedom. Strathearn is definitely a little special as it has never been held as someone's "first" dukedom, but I still think it's to be considered a dukedom in its own right. Are there any reasons to believe otherwise? -- Jao (talk) 16:36, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "It was one Dukedom, and all other "double" Royal Dukedoms of that period were also "Duke of X and Y" rather than "Duke of X" and "Duke of Y"." As I understood, it was only one dukedom called Connaught and Strathearn. See Talk:Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale#Number of dukedoms?.

replies: text: Ah, thanks for the link. Proteus usually checks his facts thoroughly. Then I assume it's just a simplifying abbreviation; I noticed Queen Victoria, in the same situation, was known simply as "of Kent". -- Jao (talk) 16:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, Victoria was in the same situation and she was simply of Kent. Too bad they didn't stick to double-dukedom-thing with the children's territorial designation too. By the way, Proteus usually checks her facts thoroughly ;) Surtsicna (talk) 17:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Since Princess Margaret remained a princess of the United Kingdom, could she be known as Princess Margaret of Sweden and the United Kingdom ?161.24.19.112 (talk) 21:05, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Princess Margaret of Sweden and the United Kingdom

message: Response to third opinion request:
Reading both sides of the argument, I conclude "Crown Princess of Sweden" should be in bold. Per the WP:BOLDTITLE and mainly the WP:R#PLA, it turns out that "Margaret, Crown Princess of Sweden" is an already-existing redirect (there are a few more, see what links here). A reader brought to this article through this link needs to be aware that they are on the right page--the Principal of Least Astonishment. The guideline does mention that all possible alternative title redirects need to be bolded for this reason.
However, aesthetically speaking, I would advise to keep in mind that excessively bolding short lead statements/paras often makes it too confusing for the readers; try to rearrange the lead for better clarity/readability if it gets too cluttered. - Ugog Nizdast (talk) 19:09, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

message: It says in the article she liked to play hockey. What kind of hockey did she play? Since it was in the winter time and in Sweden, I suppose it was either ice hockey or hockey on the ice (the latter nowadays called bandy) and not field hockey.

replies: text: I seem to remember it was Ice hockey, yes!--Aciram (talk) 22:32, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No, at the time, 'hockey' meant the sport which is now called bandy. The crown princess actually had her own bandy club called :sv:Kronprinsessans Hockeyklubb in the 1910s. Ice hockey wasn't played at all in Sweden before the 1920s. Skogsvandraren (talk) 17:51, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I was unable to find her house listed in the citation given as Windsor. The proclamation of 1917 removing German titles and adopting the name of Windsor excluded females who had married into foreign families. She had married into the Swedish royal family of Bernadotte in 1905. Celia Homeford (talk) 14:12, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: . Thank you, I did not know that. Has it been published anywhere, accessibly? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:57, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
