Liftarn's additions[edit]

These seem to be coming up every time they are removed. There are two problems with them:

These are only "alleged". This is not Alleged mistresses of the Swedish royal family, so they don't belong here, not even clarified as "alleged". It's like putting every person that has been accused of murder in a List of murderers with an "(alleged)" after each of the names: it doesn't help the fact that the names themselves do not belong in the list. Let's keep this to confirmed relationships. Allegations may very well be Wikipedia-worthy, only not in this article. Create a special article about them, if you want (as has been done, e.g., at Accusations of rape against U.S. presidents).
And even in such an article, we would need proof that the relationships are alleged. We should say who has alleged these things, and if possible give a link to the statement. The "allegations" in this article has neither. (The article linked after Anna Mannheimer's name only says that there have been rumours about the King having affairs, and does not even so much as mention her name.) If nobody can be proven to have stated the matter, it's not an allegation, only a rumour, and doesn't belong on Wikipedia at all. -- Jao 16:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then we might as well scratch the entire list as all of them are alleged. // Liftarn

Certainly not so. When the Gyllenhielms and Wasaborg were ennobled, it was made no secret that this was due to their status as illegitimate sons of kings or princes. Pretty much the same goes for Emelie Högqvist, whose relation was abruptly ended when it became known, but was, as far as I know, never denied to have existed. I'm not sure about all the names, though, and you might be right that some of them are not based on historical evidence. If so, they should go too, of course. -- Jao 17:39, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since Camilla Henemark now has confirmed it I have readded it with source. // Liftarn (talk)
