[edit] Title of article

Shouldn't Benedikte be at Princess Benedikte of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, as that is her married name? Doesn't seem to make sense to have her at her maiden name if she is married. Prsgoddess187 14:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure the Princess Benedikte of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg is her correct style. Her position as a Princess of Denmark (reigning monarchy) with style of royal highness would surely outrank title of princess of former german state with much lower style of serene highness. In any event German royal and noble style have been abolished under Germany law and now only recognised surname. In theory her hushand is legally a commoner (under german law) with legal name Richard Prince of Sayn-Wittenstein-Berleberg. His style of serene highness now only exists purely courtesy and its up to individual royal courts to extent this courtesy. However, he was elevated to style of highness by her father-in-law at the time of his marriage but the style only exists in Denmark. On the official website of Danish Royal Family is styled as Her Royal Highness Princess Benedikte of Denmark.

You are right. She should stay at her maiden name. It only makes more sense, as that is what she is popularly known by. Prsgoddess187 01:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
