Talk:Line of succession to the Belgian Throne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sadly, Ashley Y has decided to take the less than clear term "cognatic primogeniture" around here, not respecting the need of the encyclopedia to use terms which have better consensus about its meaning. 213.243.176.92 17:57, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
"Princess Imperial and Archduchess of Austria-Este, Princess Royal of Hungary and Bohemia" – do they really use these titles? Austria, Hungary and the Czech Rep (if that's what they meant by Bohemia) are republics and in Hungary all noble titles were abolished in 1945. She might as well call herself the "Princess of the United States, Australia and Ancient Egypt"... Alensha 14:06, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Incorrect line of succession?
I'm not overly familiar here, so I'll leave it to someone else, but at least two other articles on the Belgian Monarchy list Princess Elisabeth as next in line, "Princess Elisabeth, who will inherit the throne after her father, thanks to a 1991 act of succession which created full cognatic primogeniture, altering the order of succession from eldest son to eldest child."
