Why are we breaking the law?

[edit]

She was in effect only the titular Crown Princess of Austria, Hungary and Bohemia, since the titles of nobility were abolished in these countries and law forbids their usage.

So, if the law forbids the use of these titles, what are we doing according her such a title? -- 202.142.129.66 (talk) 02:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is Wikipedia bound by the laws of Austria? Of course it is not bound by any law. Otherwise, Wikipedia would not be able to mention any criticism of (for example) the King or Queen of Thailand, thanks to lèse majesté, nor any criticism of Ali Khamenei, thanks to the Blasphemy law in Iran. Anyway, I believe the article should now be moved to Princess Regina of Saxe-Meiningen in order to be consistent with articles about other princesses but there is nothing wrong with referring to her as Archduchess Regina because that's how English language sources refer to her.

I don't believe that the laws of Austria forbid other people from calling Regina "Crown Princess of Austria". I think it is more in terms of the person's own legal identity IN Austria. By the way, photos from Regina lying in state show a photograph off to the side with the caption Erzherzogin Regina. I think the article now should be titled Princess Regina of Saxe-Meiningen as well. Seven Letters 00:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. A move to Princess Regina of Saxe-Meiningen would now be best. Ruby2010 (talk) 04:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regina, Crown Princess of AustriaPrincess Regina of Saxe-Meiningen — The titles of articles about deceased princesses usually (almost always actually) use their pre-marital royal title. Therefore, the article should be moved in order to be consistent with other related articles. Surtsicna (talk) 11:56, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
