Redirecting[edit]
More than a third of heirs apparent/presumptive who held the Asturias princely title were women. Each was known as "Princess of Asturias", a title that had legal significance. The early holders of the title were the first women in Europe to have a specific title denoting their indisputable hereditary right to a throne. The present heir presumptive is a princess! Thus, to have that phrase lead to a list of women who were merely called princesses due to their husbands' status is not only senseless, but also might be construed as sexist. The women in this list had no legal/constitutional role. I doubt anyone could even demonstrate that the early holders were ever called "Princess of Asturias". Mary I of England, for example, was certainly never referred to as such. That said, I am redirecting this to "Prince of Asturias". Heck, I might even suggest redirecting "Prince of Asturias" to "Princess of Asturias", due to the present usage. If a list of wives is deemed important, why not mention them in their husbands' entries? Surtsicna (talk) 21:48, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- In addition, the husband of the titular Princess of Asturias also has the title of Prince of Asturias by marriage. The use of the same title by spouses is not gender-specific. 161.24.19.112 (talk) 12:43, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
