:I question the very need for an ''ethnicity'' parameter. Yes, its first members were most decidedly French. Every subsequent member has been born in Sweden. All recent members have a majority-German ancestry. (I don't see a case for Norwegian, though, as far as ''ethnicity'' goes.) What the ethnicity of a house is, is so open to interpretation that we can't really say at all. If the template were changed to read ''origin'' instead, then I would be happy to have that, listing France (and only France). But I think ethnicity should go.

I don't know if I have understood this correctly, but on the page of the royal court, it seems that a difference in status is made between the king's sisters. Birgitta is counted as a member of the "royal house", while the other sisters is counted as members of the "extended family". Why is this? Is it because she is the only one who married a man with the title prince? --[[Special:Contributions/85.226.43.6|85.226.43.6]] ([[User talk:85.226.43.6|talk]]) 11:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC) |

Håkon VII's relations to the house
Simply curiolus: In what way is Prince Carl of Denmark (Håkon den Syvende) descendant of the House of Bernadotte? I have a slight feeling that this passage is misleading. I've understood that in order to edit it is a rule of tumb to suggest constructive changes rather than deleting. I don't feel like an expert on this field so I guess someone else will look into this matter....
- Carl/Håkon's parents were Frederick VIII of Denmark and Lovisa of Sweden, the daughter of Charles XV of Sweden. So the passage is certainly correct. But if it tricks the reader into believing that he was elected King of Norway because he was a Bernadotte descendant, that would be going too far; if you feel that this is the case, go ahead and change it. -- Jao 22:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Ethnicity
According to the text, the ethnicity on the table to the right is incorrect. The first Bernadotte was French, therefore the correct ethnicity should include French also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.11.35.220 (talk) 00:41, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

All the king's siters part of the royal family?
I don't know if I have understood this correctly, but on the page of the royal court, it seems that a difference in status is made between the king's sisters. Birgitta is counted as a member of the "royal house", while the other sisters is counted as members of the "extended family". Why is this? Is it because she is the only one who married a man with the title prince? --85.226.43.6 (talk) 11:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
