It says in the article that he renounced it, but is there an outside source we could check, just to be sure. IMHO I don't think he would have kept it, as His Highness the Marquess of Cambridge just doesn't sound right.

I have mentioned story, reported in and cited to the local newspaper of his death place (Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England) of his being considered for the vacant throne of Hungary. Can anyone put a year to the approach, which according to the newspaper was made during the decade (1920s) he was living in Shropshire. I am aware Hungary was a kingdom with a vacant throne during the years 1920-1946 after the Habsburgs were kept from occupying it and the state was headed by Admiral Horthy as Regent.

He was George III's non-heir son Adolphus's non-heir daughter Mary's heir-son. Does that make a person a member of the Royal Family? Alternatively he was the King George Vi's wife's brother. Does THAT make a person a member of the Royal Family? The article doesn't give "HRH" or "Prince" in front of his name (except where it is "His Serene Highness" and "His Highness" both of which have to be foreign because the only "Highness" in the UK is a "Royal" one). I am unfamiliar with any assertion that the current Duke of Edinburgh's siblings are or were in the Royal Family. Is this one of those things that slices differently when the Monarch's spouse is male rather than female? I would like to ask for the definition of "Royal Family" in force during this article's subject's lifetime. 2604:2000:C682:B600:7D2E:4F68:5270:F31E ( talk) 18:41, 16 July 2016 (UTC)Christopher L.

The paragraph "Duke of Teck and later military career" states that he was a lieutenant-colonel and was temporary elevated to brigadier general 1915 while serving as military secretary to the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Forces (BEF) in France. However, the intro of the article and infobox state that he was a major general. What is te source for that? 2A02:A45F:40AC:1:597A:3720:4C40:4635 ( talk) 16:26, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
