Talk:Crown prince

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] A text duplication?

128.233.151.42 - I think everything from:

A Crown Prince of a kingdom or an empire is usually the son of the existing ruler, or is always the heir to the throne once the existing ruler dies or abdicates.

A famous example would be Prince Charles, the heir to the throne in Britain.

is on the article already at Crown Prince, so I'm redirecting there. -- Someone else 04:24 8 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Prince of Cumberland

I read long ago, probably in a novel, that at one period the crown prince of Scotland had the title of Prince of Cumberland. Cumberland was transiently subject to the King of Scotland, and the title was a neat parallel to Prince of Wales, that being the land of the Cymru. J S Ayer 03:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Silly boy! It was in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. May well have been a fancy of Shakespeare's. J S Ayer 04:19, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prince of Asturias

The article list the title of Prince of Asturias as one of those whose grant depends on the Sovereign's decision. However, this isn't actually true. The current Spanish Constitution, the one passed in 1978, establishes that the heir to the Throne (no matter whether heir apparent or presumptive) shall have the title of Prince of Asturias and those other of Montblanc, Viana, etc.

Therefore, I'm going to change the location of the mention of this title. Greetings, 85.57.70.163 (talk) 10:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
