Talk:Maria of Yugoslavia

Untitled

It was proposed that Princess Marie of Romania be moved to Marie of Romania. I made a mistake renaming this page (my apologies). This should be the correct form for a former queen consort. I know that this title might cause confusion with people searching for her mother (Queen Marie of Romania, listed under Marie of Edinburgh) but that is what the disambiguation page is for. Another variation, to save confusion, could be Marie (Mignon) of Romania. Mowens35 19:30, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

misc

ARTICLE NAME CHANGE: She was born Marie, not Mary, so as a queen consort, her article must be titled Princess Marie of Romania. Even her obituaries used Marie as her name. I'll be taking care of the mother's entry next. Mowens35 19:15, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

By all means put Queen Marie of Romania's article at Princess Mary of Edinburgh. Who can forget Dorothy Parker's immortal words:

Oh life is a glorious cycle of song

A medley of extemporanea
Love is a thing that can never go wrong

And I am Mary of Edinburgh!

"Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, A medley of extemporanea; And love is a thing that can can never go wrong, And I am Marie of Roumania." Marie of Romania was NEVER called Mary; she was named Marie for her mother, Grand Duchess Maria of Russia. Morhange 20:14, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Pls. move. HRH Marie was Princess of Romania and Queen (Queen Mother) of Serbia and Yugoslavia. Therefore, see finished her life as a Queen, not Pricess, as same as Almanach de Gotha names her. --Ninam 02:59, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Dinasty edit

• I added that in for you. All you need to do is go to the page with the template, if you go to "edit this page", click on the template link at the bottom, then edit that page. Glad to help.Prsgoddess187 13:03, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Name

If the text calls her "Princess Marioara or Marie of Romania", then why on earth is the article at Maria of Romania? -- Jmabel | Talk 00:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Paternity

From the article: "her paternity is contested by some that cite a remark of her mother's claiming that Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich of Russia was Maria's biological father". Isn't that "remark" in Queen Marie's memoir? - Jmabel | Talk 19:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Childhood photo?

There's a photo of "Princess Maria, Yugoslavia" on Flickr that I suspect might be the same person: Princess Maria, Yugoslavia Can someone confirm? If so, that photo has no copyright restrictions and could be used here if it seems appropriate. Rees11 (talk) 01:10, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

After finding some articles in romanian about the life of the Queen of Yugoslavia at that time, I can confirm that the answer is indeed yes, that is Queen Maria, or Princess Maria before becoming queen, in her childhood Subtirica (talk) 14:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

During WWII

Exactly when did she move to England? Did she leave in 1934, or with her son during WWII? The article does not make it clear. --85.226.46.190 (talk) 21:34, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I oppose any move of this page. It is an artificial proposal made purely in order to get the existing page on Marie of Edinburgh moved to Marie of Romania. Deb (talk) 18:04, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

No idea what that means, but in any case, the other page is now called Marie of Romania, so we'd better get this one renamed as well (there was apparently no difference in their forenames in Romania, so having these two near-similar titles is just going to confuse people almost as much as, or more than, they were confused before). "Queen Maria of Yugoslavia" still makes it clear who this article is about, so I propose a move to that title - does anyone have any better ideas?--Kotniski (talk) 15:32, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Maria of Yugoslavia would be more systematic; Maria, Queen of Yugoslavia is slightly more idiomatic than QM of Y and permits the pipe-trick. I have no particular preference between them. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, since we've decided we don't have any system for consorts, I don't see much mileage in claiming that one is more systematic, so I'd go with the idiomatic one.--Kotniski (talk) 16:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Since, after a very lengthy discussion, we have just moved her mother to Marie of Romania, the logic of that move is to move this person to Maria of Yugoslavia. In some cases we are now referring to queens by their marital rather than their maiden name. PatGallacher (talk) 16:41, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Since Pat moved the article to Maria of Yugoslavia, and nobody seems to want to move it back to Maria of Romania, can we close this request? If somebody wants to move it on to a different variant of Maria of Yugoslavia, feel free to make a new request, which we can then discuss. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:08, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

OK. I'd still prefer one of the forms with "Queen" included (otherwise we now have a triple rather than just a double load on the "Name of Place" title structure - person from the place, monarch of the place, queen consort of the place), but for now at least we've eliminated the clash of two almost identical titles.--Kotniski (talk) 05:19, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
