Titles

Since the abdication of the Kaiser as German Emperor and his subsequent marriage having taken place afterwards, can Princess Hermine seriously be regarded as German Empress and Queen of Prussia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huwwilson650 (talkcontribs)

Please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) and do not remove the classifications. To answer your question, yes, Hermine was the German Empress and Queen of Prussia regardless of whatever else she was called. She was married to William who was still German Emperor and King of Prussia in title, although he no longer reigned. The age-old convention is that a wife is entitled to the titles and styles of her husband (unless a marriage is unequal). Hermine qualified to share her husband's titles. Compare Queen Anne of Romania, born Anne of Bourbon, Princess of Parma, who married her husband after his exile. Charles 23:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
