Talk:Order of Louise

Awarded as a ladies dynastic order?
See here. It would appear that, at the very least, members of the Prussian Royal family are still receiving the Order of Louise. Who can find a reliable source that can back this up giving credence to this order still being awarded as aDynastic order of knighthood? EricSerge (talk) 17:23, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Expanded but simplified Recipients section
I just expanded the recipients section with additional articles from the category but I also simplified the list so it's just names. What was there before had more detail about family relationships but I found it difficult to maintain because it wasn't alphabetized and the articles mostly had short display names that made updating that difficult. The content is still in the history but I also copied it below in case my edit is controversial. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:55, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
