Add title Princess Royal.

It was "gifted" to her by her great aunt Princess Anne Brockcwfranklin (talk) 21:22, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. DrKay (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She won't be Princess Royal until her father is king and the title is available, which can only happen when the current title's holder dies. 2804:29B8:50E9:2EAD:EC8E:35E5:A8A7:EBE6 (talk) 03:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 16 January 2025

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Clear consensus that COMMONNAME applies here, and that the date disambiguation is more helpful that full names which are not commonly used. (non-admin closure) TiggerJay (talk) 06:12, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

– Per WP:NATURAL, titling the pages after their full names is a much more natural way to disambiguate them than by listing their years of birth or lifespans. Di (they-them) (talk) 00:57, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Particularly with the current Princess Charlotte. GoodDay (talk) 01:41, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Think WP:COMMONNAME, would be more important in this case, as each individuals full name is rarely used. - Epluribusunumyall (talk) 02:02, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support in part I think the current Princess Charlotte should be Princess Charlotte of Wales as the likely primary topic. The current princess gets almost three times the page views as her unfortunate predecessor. I'm nearly indifferent as to what should be the earlier princess's article title but I could see Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, with an appropriate hatnote for the benefit of anyone who has strayed.--Wehwalt (talk) 02:12, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose-The current Princess Charlotte will most likely see a change in title in future with her and as such, her title,i.e, Princess Charlotte of Wales is not permanent. In contrast, the earlier Princess Charlotte will always be known as "Princess Charlotte of Wales" and the "(1796-1817)" will most likely be dropped once the present Princess has a change in her primary title. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 04:01, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Both of them are commonly known as "Princess Charlotte" especially the current princess. Keivan.f^Talk 04:59, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The reader is more likely to be helped by the date disambiguation, as they are unlikely to know either princess's full name but can see immediately which is the current and which the historic person. PamD 06:19, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. See no pressing reason to change either. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:17, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As other editors have noted, the COMMONNAME for the latter seems to be Charlotte, not Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Векочел (talk) 10:49, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per all above. Not how we title articles. But move Princess Charlotte of Wales (1796–1817) to Princess Charlotte of Wales (born 1796). We usually just use YOB, not full date ranges. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:32, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per COMMONNAME. 2601:249:9301:D570:828:3506:9FEA:E70E (talk) 03:09, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per all above, including WP:COMMONNAME and consistency with other articles. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 23:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
