Talk:Knud, Hereditary Prince of Denmark

message: We cannot know for sure that his name as king would have been Knud VII. It is not even likely. The names Frederik and Christian were both included in the names of the hereditary prince, maybe to honor the ancestors but those also happen to be the names of Danish kings for 500 years. So more likely, his name as king would have been Christian XI.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.52.71.211 (talk) 18:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The danish saying "One more time for prins Knud", is not a reference to his intelligence, but just a reference to his lack of grace. In a show at the Royal Opera he was asked after the show, if he enjoyed the show, and he answered truthfully: "Yes, but I really wish I could have seen the dancescene better" (The royal seats are in the side of the opera, and actually have a rather poor view of the stage). The Opera then repeated the scene with the words: "Vi tager den én gang til for Prins Knud". Carewolf 14:07 17th Feb 2007 (UTC)
Thou it wasnt originally ment to be a reference to his intelligence, it is by far the most Danes considered to be that, and with good reason, he wasnt too bright (not downright retarded as some claim, but he was in the lower-mid of the normal spectrum of intelligence).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.55.59.182 (talk) 00:04, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I read many Danish articles about him and I know that he was not stupid. That is only a legend. And he was quite popular, many people wanted him as the next king because he was so friendly and charming. There was a difference of only 17000 votes in the referendum. The referendum was a vote FOR the daughters of the very popular Queen Ingrid and not AGAINST Knud (only in the rainbow press it was a vote against him). Queen Margrethe was only a child then. (Sorry for my English, I am German-/Danish-speaking :-)

replies: text: Is there something in the article that implies that he was stupid?  It's not clear to me what you are identifying as a "mistake".  But in any case, by all means, please be bold and edit the article to reflect what you know of Prince Knud, especially if you can cite sources to back up the statements you add.  --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 20:55, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

text: Incidentally, it's fine for you to cite sources that are in Danish.  We all know how to use Google Translate.  On the other hand, if they are available, English-language sources would be even better for obvious reasons.  --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 20:57, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Wasn't he prince of Iceland when Iceland became an independent kingdom in 1918? Or was it only for his father (King) and brother (Crown Prince)? And I don't know usage of title hereditary prince in Denmark, but in Swedish nobility, the title hereditary prince of Sweden (arvfurste) was for who is heir of the Crown Prince (e.g. Prince Gustaf Adolf and for who is heir presumptive to the throne but he's not son of the reigning monarch (e.g. Prince Bertil). It might be same in Danish nobility. Tomás de H y B-P (talk) 09:53, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: In the section Title above, you can see how the Danish title arveprins works. --Klausok (talk) 10:53, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
