name change

she was styled as "princess grace of monaco" on both her foundation, run by her son website and the book she published in the 80s. is the name change really accurate here?--Bettydaisies (talk) 22:16, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moved back

I moved the article back because the move was controversial but undiscussed. She was not known as Grace Kelly when the funeral occurred. I am at a loss to figure out how to move this talk page back. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 February 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. The only factor driving support for this move is consistency with the common name, and all the supporters have imposed this policy only. However, those who were in opposition have argued that her name was not the primary concern on her funeral, it was the the title of princess.

Funeral of Princess Grace of Monaco → Funeral of Grace Kelly – Grace Kelly is the WP:COMMONNAME for this individual. This should be moved so that it is in line of the main article at Grace Kelly. Interstellarity (talk) 23:58, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Grace Kelly is obviously her common name, but the funeral itself (and subject of this article) wasn't the private funeral of actress Grace Kelly, it was a state burial of the Princess of Monaco, and was reported at such.--Bettydaisies (talk) 00:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:CONSISTENT, for consistency with the main article at Grace Kelly. Rreagan007 (talk) 02:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:CONSISTENT, in line with the main article. Graham (talk) 04:34, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and consistency. --Cerebral726 (talk) 14:53, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Stong oppose Her name had not been Grace Kelly for a very long time when this event occurred. Main article has birth name as per WP convention. Not relevant to her funeral. Grave photo has no mention of "Kelly" name, nor was that name mentioned anywhere in connection with her funeral. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:59, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Technically, her style after her marriage would have been “Grace, Princess of Monaco”, as she was the wife of the reigning Prince, whereas the style “Princess {First Name} of Monaco” is for people born into the princely family, so the current title isn’t accurate. As an example, her son’s wife has her article at Charlene, Princess of Monaco, not Princess Charlene of Monaco. 12.239.13.147 (talk) 19:46, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Either is correct. Try to tell Princess Sofia of Sweden that she can't be called that & you're headed for trouble. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:13, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that example is equivalent, as Sofia is not the wife of the ruler of a Principality, plus different countries have different rules for titles and styles of royals. 2601:249:9301:D570:C98C:4B83:3DD2:FF1D (talk) 16:56, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Her official style as linked on her WP article was "HSH Princess Grace of Monaco."--Bettydaisies (talk) 19:29, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, the same source refers to her husband as "Prince Rainier III of Monaco", when technically his official style was "Rainier III, Prince of Monaco", as listed in his article title, so I'm not sure if they're using official styles or colloquialisms (i.e. in the same vein as referring to Diana, Princess of Wales as "Princess Diana"). 2601:249:9301:D570:C98C:4B83:3DD2:FF1D (talk) 20:28, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any sources referring to him as such? Albert II, Prince of Monaco's official title is HSH The Sovereign Prince of Monaco, but he can hardly be called that on Wikipedia without being differentiating from the other Sovereign PRince's of Monaco. I believe the numeral is used to distinguish Monaco's princes from other, non-reining princes.--Bettydaisies (talk) 07:10, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On the Princess Grace Foundation-USA page (one of the sources used on her page to justify her being called "Princess Grace of Monaco", instead of "Grace, Princess of Monaco",) refers to him as "His Serene Highness Prince Rainier III of Monaco", which makes me wonder if they're speaking officially or colloquially, which impacts whether using the style "Prince(ss) X of Monaco" is correct over "X, Prince(ss) of Monaco". 2601:249:9301:D570:34B9:D115:6B6F:A06E (talk) 23:25, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The elaborate funeral was only because she was Princess Grace at the time of her death. Even though our article on her is entitled Grace Kelly, this is the appropriate title for the article on her funeral. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose She was called Princess Grace at the time of her death. Векочел (talk) 15:35, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per @Necrothesp Estar8806 (talk) 03:57, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
