Template talk:Princes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

Can someone provide a reference for the Portuguese, Bulgarian and Belgian (post WW1) princes being Princes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. - dwc lr (talk) 16:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not sure if belgian princes keep the style of Princes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. During the reign in Portugal of the House of Braganza-Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the infantes also held the style of princes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and dukes of Saxony (as you can see in its article). Whe Simeon II of Bulgaria became prime minister, he used the name Simeon of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which proves that bulgarian princes kept this style. --Paliano (talk) 19:09, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The Almanach de Gotha, 1910 for instance,, give the Bulgarians the titles, "Prince of Bulgaria, Duke of Saxony", the Portuguese "Infante of Portugal, Duke of Saxony", the Belgians "Prince of Belgium, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Duke of Saxony" (though not after WWI) and the UK "Prince of the GB & I, Prince of S-C & G, Duke of Saxony" though again not after WWI. Unless sources can be founded attributing the title P of S-C & G they should be removed from the template and also Template:Princesses of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Template:Princesses of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha by marriage need to be looked at. - dwc lr (talk) 19:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * All right, I'll remove the Bulgarian princes and the Portuguese infantes, as well as the belgians after WW1 --Paliano (talk) 19:36, 16 April 2009 (UTC


 * Are you guys sure any of the Belgians princes or the UK princes, beside those whose father were reigning Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, can be considered Princes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The first version I made included only the male-line descendants of Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld that didn't start their own country. Because none of the sons of Prince Albert had any title beside their British ones with the execption of Alfred who was Duke.--Queen Elizabeth II&#39;s Little Spy (talk) 00:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes I think its ok to list them as we can verify that they held the title per published sources such as the Almanach de Gotha or even Belgian Royal Families website. - dwc lr (talk) 01:00, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

5th generation: United Kingdom: "Prince" Alastair
According to the National Archives, "Prince" Alastair was never actually created as a prince. I have edited "Prince" Alastair's article itself Alastair, 2nd Duke of Connaught and Strathearn but not quite sure if he should be moved down to Duke or... what? Happy for advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.69.143 (talk) 19:56, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That's UK. This is a German title. DrKay (talk) 20:41, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
