Untitled[edit]

I understand that Princess Astrid lost her royal highness style due unequal marriage. But, why then is allowed to use the highness outside norway ? Why not simply let use the highness all the time ?

Mrs. Ferner?[edit]

How can she be "Mrs. Ferner"? Having a higher rank than "Mrs." immediately diqualifies one from the title, and being a princess is clearly higher. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Princess Astrid, Mrs Ferner.

This situation is rather complex in the case of Princess Astrid, Mrs Ferner and her sister. Under the rules of royal house when a member of the family marries unequally (marriage to someone who is not royal) they automatically loss the prefix of Royal Highness and suffix 'of Norway'. They are allow to retain the prenominal of Princess with new married name. The prenominal of Princess is more of horrific than a title. In theory they are not longer Princesses of Norway, nor are they members of the royal house and they excluded from the line of succession. The rules were different for male members previously they were stripped of all titles. However, recently as is the case with King and crown prince they have been allowed to marry commoners with no effect on there royal status. A bit unfair. The case of the King daughter Princess Martha-Louise is slighly different. She voluntary gave up the style of royal highness to pursue her commercial interest prior to her marriage. Following her marriage she has been styled as Princess Martha-Louise of Norway, Mrs Behn. Whether or not she would have lost the style of HRH had she not previously given it up is hard to speculate at this piont.

Further more the combination of the title of princess with Mrs X is common royal practise in recent times. HRH Princess Margaret, Mrs Armstrong-Jones until Anthony Armstrong-Jones was created of Earl of Snowdon. HRH Princess Royal, Mrs Lawerence (previously Mrs Phillips), HRH Princess Alexandra, The Hon. Mrs Ogilvy.

Martha-Louise is not "Mrs Behn". She dropped the HRH and became "Princess Märtha Louise of Norway" when she decided to start her own business. She didn't get married until almost six months later. RWB22 (talk) 00:20, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Broken line[edit]

Ah, the Brith line of succession loops from this page to a person that's three or four places backwards. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Krazykenny (talk • contribs) 03:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]
