Talk:Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau

message: There was never given an approval for a marriage with Prince Johan Friso, and the request for approval was withdrawn by the couple. However, they nevertheless married on April 24 2004 and therefore the Princess didn't become member of the Dutch royal house. The Dutch royal house is a smaller part of the Dutch royal family and under the responsibility of the minister; those who are member are in line of succession to the throne. Therefore she didn't get the title Princess of the Netherlands, but because her husband is still Prince of Orange-Nassau her title is Princess of Orange-Nassau (by marriage). Therefore her correct name (and name of this page) should be: Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau. Please correct this!
* ok, so is the current heading "Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau, Mrs. van Amsberg" the correct way how they call her in Netherlands? or is it just "Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau" what exactly is your proposal? Antares911 16:28, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Name of this site, Princess Mabel of the Netherlands, is wrong!

message: Princess Mabel is called mrs. van Amsberg because she is married to Prince Johan Friso, who inhereted the appelation of nobility "Jonkheer van Amsberg" from his father Prince Claus of the Netherlands. It is his surname. Since the wives of a "Jonkheer" do not share in that appelation, they are called mrs. followed by the surname. Crownprincess Maxima and Princess Laurentien are also called mrs. van Amsberg. When the Prince of Orange (elder brother of Johan Friso) got married to Princess Maxima, the name mrs. van Amsberg was specifically mentioned by mayor J. Cohen, who conducted the marriage ceremony.Gerard von Hebel 00:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: She is

message: Actually her full official name is:
Mabel, Prinses van Oranje-Nassau, Gravin van Oranje-Nassau, Mevrouw van Amsberg - Wisse Smit.
in English:
Mabel, Princess of Orange-Nassau, Countess of Orange-Nassau, Mrs van Amsberg - Wisse Smit.
She is a princess, because she married a prince, but the fact that she and her husband are not members of the royal house (i.e. are not in line to the throne) makes that she is not HRH (her royal highness), but HH (her highness).
Princess Mabel is commonly referred to as princess Mabel, but apparently she prefers to use her own name Mabel Wisse Smit.
According to Dutch language rules it is "Jonkvrouw van Amsberg", but "Mevrouw Van Amsberg" and "Mrs Van Amsberg", with a capital V. Explanation: "Jonkvrouw" is a part of the name, while "Mrs" is not. Please change the article accordingly. Skuipers 06:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Probably too small for inclusion in the article but Dutch media report that modification to this article, deleting the phrase "and false" from Balkenendes statement in the marriage section was conducted by Mabel and Friso themselves. Arnoutf 18:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, it was not edited from Balkenende statement... it was edited in wikipedia. Althought I'm a Dutch republican, I think it is great the Dutch Royal family participates on wikipedia. If they have a different point of view, so be it: it will be corrected soon enough (and that is what happened). Ubuntu user 14:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You are right, the current text has the Balkenende quote as a quote, the text at the time of the edit did not report it as a quote and was not sourced. Arnoutf 15:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

text: The report in the Volkskrant, weblink 2 given above. Arnoutf 19:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  And a report on Dutch national television in the show NOVA Arnoutf 20:28, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed to an English-language report. After all, this is the English-language Wikipedia. I assume that more central English media will refer to the affair soon. Please update when they do. gidonb 23:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Follow up on removal of "false'

message: Lol, mrs. Wisse Smit meets Jimmy Wales in Dalian: . I wonder if Wales warned her not to edit her own Wikipedia page. De fries 08:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there confirmation that this video is real instead of manipulated?? We would not want to break news that is shown a mess later on. Perhaps someone should confirm with Jimbo?? Arnoutf 22:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's real. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2007-09-10/Jimbo_interview. China Crisis 06:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dalian 

message: I've removed the following paragraph from the article. It seems to be unencyclopaedic and more of a reflection on prince Friso's current state of health. Any thoughts?
"On February 17, 2012, while skiing in Austria, Prince Friso was buried in an avalanche, and, although found and resuscitated, suffered severe brain damage.  He is, as of this writing, March 26, 2012, in a coma, and unlikely to regain consciousness.  The prince was moved from the hospital in Innsbruck, Austria, to a facility in London, where he lived with his wife, Princess Mabel, and their two children. During his stay in the hospital in Innsbruck, he was visited every day by members of his family.  Especially sad and moving was the close relationship shown between his mother, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, and Princess Mabel, who were repeatedly seen holding on tightly and supporting each other, as they entered and left the hospital."

message: How can I believe this is an objective artikel? I think  this picture has to be removed. (In het Nederlands, mijn Engels is te slecht, leuk voor Jimbo voor boven zijn bed, maar deze foto hoort in het artikel niet thuis i.v.m de neutraliteit.)
