Contrary to the 'first edition' of this page Frederika was not a Princess of Great Britain. Giano 21:24, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Title of Princess of Great Britain
Actually, Frederika of Hanover was actually a "Princess of Great Britain & Ireland" with the style of "Highness". Below is the footnote that is reference in the wiki article about her father, Ernst Augustus III, Duke of Brunswick:
2 By Royal Warrant of 17 June 1914, King George V granted the eldest son and any children thereafter born to Prince Ernst August of Hanover, then reigning Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, the title of Prince (or Princess) of Great Britain and Ireland with the style Highness. The provisions of this Royal Warrant ceased with George V's Letters Patent of 30 November 1917, and Hanoverian princes and princesses born after this date were no longer allowed the title Prince of Great Britain and Ireland with the style Highness.
So from her birth until the Letters Patent of November 30, 1917, Frederika of Hanover was also a Princess of Great Britain.68.1.178.185 01:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed, but more specifically a Princess of Great Britain and Ireland. Funny thing is I have never specifically seen "United Kingdom" use, but it must have been applied. To this day, members of the House of Hanover use the titles Prince/Princess of Hanover, Duke/Duchess of Brunswick and Lunenburg, Royal Prince/Princess of Great Britain and Ireland.
