Talk:Duke Alexander of Oldenburg

Princely vs ducal title
Although reliable sources in English have yet to be found by way of verification, it appears that this Russian branch of the German House of Oldenburg were known in their adopted country by the unique title of Prints (russification of the German word for a cadet prince, Prinz) rather than by their apparently legal German title of Herzog or "Duke". Until this can be properly sorted out using sources that can be cited in the article, the historical reality should nonetheless be noted here, lest it be forgot.
