Moving[edit]

According to Google:

Princess Louise Margaret of Connaught 42,500 Princess Louise Marguerite of Connaught 763 Princess Louise Margarete of Connaught 424

So I'm going to move this to the more common name. Marguerite is more French anyway, isn't it? Morhange 22:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 06:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Princess Louise Margaret, Duchess of Connaught → Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia — Per a separate talk page discussion. Per WP:NC(NT), princesses are generally known by their birth title (for example Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld). Notable exceptions include Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester who was born a commoner, and Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent who is most known as a Duchess of Kent. This is not so clear-cut with Princess Louise Margaret, and therefore consensus is needed to determine whether it should be moved. --PeterSymonds —PeterSymonds —PeterSymonds | talk 22:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death[edit]

She died of influenza, but she was not a casualty of the 1917-1918 influenza epidemic! This disease was first observed in 1918, half a year after the death of the princess. --92.195.65.249 (talk) 12:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for correcting this. PeterSymonds (talk) 14:04, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
