Adopted new style before wedding[edit]

Are ya certain Lieutenant was part of that new style? Isn't that a Navy rank? GoodDay (talk) 04:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bowes-Lyon family[edit]

Why are they missing?217.92.235.144 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:45, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Other guests[edit]

Aren't there other notable guests that should be added? Surely the prime minister was there? Other politicians? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:5231:9300:157:4B86:EDAD:ED55 (talk) 20:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Abdication of Titles[edit]

To address the why? under Engagement: Prince Phillip abdicated his Greek and Danish titles so that he could be naturalised (you cannot hold foreign titles and become naturalised). Inevitably he could have kept them under the Sophia Naturalization Act 1705 as he was by birth a British national. I plan to add it as soon as I can get some good sources. menaechmi (talk) 20:14, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

However, I don't understand why he had to abdicated his former titles. Did Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha so? Or continued Prince Albert to be German after the wedding with Victoria? I understand that the British Government "asked" him to change his family name, because it was German, what wasn't agreeable just after WW II. But why wasn't it acceptable to be a royal Prince of Denmark and Greece? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.1.228.240 (talk) 21:28, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Juliana[edit]

I read somewhere else that Elizabeth and Beatrix are 5th Cousins. How can Juliana be a 6th cousin?217.92.235.144 (talk) 15:39, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible if Beatrix's father was more closely related to Elizabeth than Juliana. I doubt that but you can easily check if that's the case using one of many genealogy charts on Wikipedia. Surtsicna (talk) 16:05, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Order of the list[edit]

What should be the order of the guests. The Kent's are ordered according to age. Kings sibling are ordered as Primogeniture. Chamika1990 (talk) 06:38, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Philip Mountbatten"[edit]

As he was made Duke of Edinburgh the morning of his wedding, meaning he held the style at the time of marriage, shouldn't the article refer to him as such, or do most historical sources maintain that he was Phillip Mountbatten?--Bettydaisies (talk) 21:36, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Phillip, no. Philip, yes. DrKay (talk) 21:54, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He should be Duke of Edinburgh. That's accurate and it's how he's been known ever since. Richard75 (talk) 23:24, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If he was Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, at the time of their marriage, than perhaps he should be listed as such in the article + the couple's respective pages.--Bettydaisies (talk) 20:08, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

William was also made Duke of Cambridge on the morning of his wedding day, yet we have the article about his and Catherine's wedding at Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, and all similar articles were moved on 12 July 2018 after consensus was reached to keep the titles as short as possible per WP:CONCISE and exclude all the ducal/princely titles. Not to mention that Philip did not lose his surname on the day of his wedding and put his name as Philip Mountbatten on the marriage certificate, so there's nothing wrong with this article's title. Keivan.f^Talk 05:51, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see, well in that case it seems perfectly in order.--Bettydaisies (talk) 18:39, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
