Talk:Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg

message: I think that William and Guillaume are the same first name, in English and French respectively. So he should reign under the name William V / Guillaume V ... so why is he listed as Guillaume and his ancestor as William IV ? Shouldn't this be unified ? I think he should be listed as William, since for instance the pope is listed under his English first name.82.127.151.89 21:54, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the children of monarchs are usually referred to by their local (as opposed to the English) translation i.e. Felipe, Prince of Asturias, Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant etc. They are then referred to by the English translation of their name (probably William V, Grand Duke of Luxembourg should he choose that name) when they become king/queen (one exception being Juan Carlos of Spain who is usually referred to as the Spanish translation of his name - see Talk:Juan Carlos I of Spain). I hope this helps. Craigy 22:08, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
*Well in this case why is father is not called Henry and greatfather John ? I think that there is an inconsistency in the list of the Grand Dukes. Some of them are named in English (William) and some of them in French (Henri, Jean, Marie-Adelaide) 68.165.99.171 17:53, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

text: False. Why would the rulers of non-English speaking countries be legally named William? Charles 03:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Charles was addressing the first of your statements: "those who were named William were legally named William". And he's right: of course no member of the Luxembourgish royal family has ever been legally named William. That is, however, beside the point here. Wikipedia has no policy regarding anglicizing of names, so it's all done on a case-by-case basis decided by common usage in English. Common usage tends not to anglicize living or recent people's names, so it's not surprising that this is at Guillaume and the older ones at William. -- Jao 19:27, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Just curious if anyone has an answer....how does his patrilineal descent leap from the French dauphin to Philip V of Spain? That particular jiggle in the line seems odd. ScarletRibbons (talk) 07:34, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I think Prince Charles of Luxembourg (born 2020) should be merged to his father's article. As with the other  grandchildren of Grand Duke Henri and young royal children, the subject is a baby with no independent notability or public appearance/role.CuteDolphin712 (talk) 12:05, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

message: Should the title of this article be changed to "Guillaume, Crown Prince of Luxembourg"? Per the official grand ducal website, Guillaume's official title is "HRH The Crown Prince", not "HRH The Hereditary Grand Duke". When searching "Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg" on Google, 188000 results appear. However, when searching "Guillaume, Crown Prince of Luxembourg", 898000 results appear. This suggests that perhaps the latter is the more common name used online and in the media. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:47, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The original, French version of the website still calls him "le Grand-Duc Héritier"; and indeed the website frequently calls him "the Hereditary Grand Duke" in English too, even on the very page you linked. Since "crown prince" would be technically wrong and they are not consistent with it, I'd say it's a case of a poor translation by the people who run the page.
