I am not sure why Terrance Darnell thinks that removing HRH from the opening line of this article constitutes vandalism. Certainly, the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) under the heading Honorific prefixes states: "(3) Styles shall not be used to open articles on royalty and popes. Thus the article on Pope Benedict XVI shall not begin 'His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI . . . ' nor the article on Queen Victoria begin 'Her Majesty Queen Victoria . . .'" It would appear beyond dispute that this article should not begin with HRH which, according to wikipedia, stands for "His Royal Highness." Accordingly, I am removing the HRH.

- None of our other articles on royalty (or a few that have been missed) have HRH or HM or any other style in the opening sentence. They have mostly been replaced by infoboxes. I am sure it wouldn't be hard to make one for these articles. Prsgoddess187 12:34, 15 February 2006 (UTC) - I added an infobox for Jaime, if everyone thinks it is acceptable, we can add it to the other disputed pages. Prsgoddess187 12:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
The vandalism was not in removing HRH from the opening line of the article, but it was in the multiple lies full of hate written by the IP 205.188.116.65 in his/her edit [1].
Thanks to Prsgoddess187 for the infobox, it's very good.

No problem. If there is POV in the article, feel free to remove it. Just make sure you have info to back up your changes. Glad you like the infobox. I added it to Alfonso de Borbón Dampierre and Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou. Prsgoddess187 21:08, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
