[edit]

Which prince is this "Prince Michael"? Please expand. YannisKollias 01:35, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)


Have some technical issues here; the link for Olga goes to and Olga born 1903? Come on folks, don't make this site look like a cheap want-to-be genealogical site. [Technical Writing, Sharon&Sharon Fourth Edition]


It says Prince Michael was a "Third Lieutenant" in the Greek Army. Was there such a rank at one time? Now they have lokhagos (captain), upolokhagos (literally "sub-captain", i.e. "lieutenant") and anthupolokhagos (second lieutenant). Perhaps that system of terminology led to some confusion? --Jpbrenna 23:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Morganatic marriage

[edit]

If, as the article says, Prince MIchael's marriage to Marina was morganatic, how is it that their children have titles? Morganatic marriages prevent the transfer of a husband's rank and title to his spouse and children. Any ideas? (203.26.177.2 05:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC))[reply]

His daughters have titles, but not succession rights. Charles 15:00, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael or Michel?

[edit]

In the copyright page for The White Night of St. Petersburg, the author's name is given as "Michel, Prince of Greece". Anyone have any idea why this spelling? Tualha (Talk) 15:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe his name may have been incompletely translated from French, which I believe is the language the book was written in first. Charles 15:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
FYI: there should be some notation that "Prince Michael of Greece" is his legal name, ie his actual name, legally, per a legal decision in a court case initiated by him, not just per birth. I recall there being an interview with him and mention of this.Mowens35 17:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Feudal Titles in Greece

[edit]

The Greek State as a democratic one, following the principles of the French and American Revolutions, does not recognize Kings and other titles like them, since the abolition of Monarchy in 1974. This title is not recognized by the Greeks and has been added to this person on his own initiative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kostandisloukos (talkcontribs) 10:07, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Renounced titles

[edit]

My understanding is that Michael is the only Greek royal to hold Greek citizenship. In order to do that he had to renounce all titles and honours and adopt a surname. He did so and adopted the name Michel de Grèce. As such, surely it is no longer appropriate refer to him as "Prince Michael" (unlike the other members of the Greek royal family, who maintain and assert their titles)?

His official name

[edit]

User:DrKay Michelle De Grece had Greek citizenship which he acquired by renouncing his royal name. His official name must be written in the lead section 130.43.76.152 (talk) 19:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I've already stated, his name was Michel de Grèce. DrKay (talk) 20:17, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
my point is about lead section. how it is possible not to mention his official name and surname in the lead section, as we do to other people? 130.43.76.152 (talk) 02:41, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that his name is not what you claim it to be. Celia Homeford (talk) 08:31, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly is meant; how does it follow that in his country of birth his name is not Michelle de Grece? 130.43.76.152 (talk) 18:25, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You were told three times already.[1][2][3] If you continue to disrupt wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. DrKay (talk) 22:56, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Therealscorp1an what was the error in the previous wording? why did you remove the information about his official Greek name?? 130.43.76.152 (talk) 18:29, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
