Talk:Monarchy of Monaco

Proposed Merge into Prince of Monaco
I propose that Sovereign Prince of Monaco be merged into this article, Prince of Monaco. The two separate articles currently exist, apparently, because the same title, Prince, is used to refer to both the Monégasque ruler and to his/her agnatic cadets. The distinction between the two should, instead, be explained in the context of one article. "Sovereign" is not part of the ruler's legal title in Monaco (the Constitution and House Laws refer to "the reigning Prince", never to "the sovereign prince"). WP also explains the different uses of the princely title quite exhaustively at Prince. "Sovereign Prince" was understandably created to disambiguate from the already existing article on cadet princes of Monaco, but the better solution is a single merged article under the title Prince of Monaco.

Serene Highness or MOST serene Highness?
Do we have an official source for the style cited in the article for the Prince of Monaco? According to this source his official style is Most Serene Highness, rather than simply Serene Highness. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 09:54, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

French titles
Many of the French titles passed from father to son only under Salic law. After the Treaty of Péronne (1641) the Prince was in 1642 granted the French titles of Valentinois, des Baux and Duke of Estouteville. The titles of Thorigny and Matignon came from the prince consort Jacques I, Prince of Monaco by special permission. The article says "only a Monegasque title" rather often, and this is the case; they actually run from 1949 and the death of Louis II, Prince of Monaco who was the last person entitled to hold them under Salic law. It is an illusion to extend them further back than 1949.86.42.211.249 (talk) 13:34, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
