Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein
Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein was a son-in-law of Queen Victoria who lived to 86 (1831-1917), and was granted the use of Royal Highness by a Letter Patent of Victoria. Should he be on this list? Dralwik&#124;Have a Chat 00:14, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * , thank you so much for your message and for raising this question. When I found that Prince Christian’s age qualified him for this list, I did a little digging to see whether he was ever created a British prince. In order to create a reasonable defined boundary for this list, I decided to narrow the specific focus to British princesses and princes. While Prince Christian was considered a member of the British royal family through his marriage to a British princess, he was not created a British prince. My reading of these letters patent state that he was entitled to be styled as a prince, but was not created a Prince of the United Kingdom. Please let me know if your reading is different. Also, let me know if you have any other suggestions for this article—I really tried to make it as comprehensive as possible, and I know it needs further improvement. Perhaps we could begin a new section at the bottom for close members of the British royal family who were not British princes or princesses, although I know that list could grow quite long if we do not place the proper parameters on it or narrowly scope it. Thank you so much again, and I look forward to your insights and comments. — West Virginian   (talk)  14:45, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * , that strict definition seems sensible. Checking the spouses of other daughters of monarchs (such as the Duke of Argyll or Duke of Fife), it appears that a husband who is not already royal does not receive the HRH designation and that Christian's title was more of an explicit acknowledgement of his pre-existing nobility than granting him a new British royal status. I am content with leaving the restricted list rather than try to determine where to draw the line on in-laws and descendants. Dralwik&#124;Have a Chat 02:29, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , thank you again for your message and thoughtful response! And please let me know if you have any recommendations or suggestions moving forward. I appreciate it! -- West Virginian   (talk)  17:07, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Update needed - death of Prince Philip
Article says he is the current oldest living member of the royal family, but as of today this is no longer true. Mdrb55 (talk) 12:24, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
