I propose (unofficially for now) this artilce move to Prince George, Duke of Cumberland, or Prince George of Denmark // D B D 10:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
This should really be discussed before it is moved. The conventions are likely to be changed to mention male consorts somehow. Charles 16:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
He was never known as Duke of Cumberland. It should go back to Prince George of Denmark. john k 17:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
The conventions already cover male consorts. See item #10 in the naming conventions: "The same rule applies to male royal consorts." The article is correctly named. What he was "known as" doesn't matter. Additionally, putting "Prince" in the title reduces his rank to that of a junior royal, not a consort of a ruling one.— Chidom talk 01:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
P.S., if we are strict on naming people by what they are commonly known of, he was actually called "Prince George of Great Britain" more often -- meaning just "The Title-less Consort, called George, of Great Britain; how about we call him a Prince, so it doesn't look so bad for him" -- in the context of his wife, who would ever still remember he was a Danish prince? The "Prince" in the name merely came from the power of Britain, no more the power of Denmark. What now?
Here there are eighteen pregnancies: Anne, Queen of Great Britain#Issue. Here there are seventeen pregnancies: Prince George of Denmark#Issue. What is correct? Calle Widmann ( talk) 20:29, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Queen Anne wrote a letter to Christian V after Prince Georges death. However Christian V died in 1699. Somshe wrote a letter to a death person? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.157.214.9 ( talk) 19:04, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Was he heir presumptive to the Danish throne? His brother accended the throne in 1870 and his son future Frederick IV was born in 1871. Frederick III's second son was George as Denmark practised agnatic primogeniture up to mid 20th century, he would be heir to the Danish throne between 1870 and 1871. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chamika1990 ( talk • contribs) 10:06, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Prince George was also a knight of the Order of the Elephant. [1] That should be mentioned under Honours. Surtsicna ( talk) 11:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I added four portraits of George a few minutes ago. Perhaps some of them can be used in the article. Surtsicna ( talk) 17:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Apparently, George is not entirely forgotten in Denmark either. Prins Jørgens Garde still exists. Their official website contains a brief biography. Does the Garde merit a mention? Surtsicna ( talk) 20:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
She was born Lady Rachel Wriothesley because her father was an earl, she then became Lady Vaughan on her first marriage and then Lady Russell on her second. Her husband was attainted in 1683, so I would presume he lost his courtesy title and so at the time she wrote of George's grief she would be reverted to Lady Rachel Russell, her own title she had from birth with her married name. The attainder was reversed in 1688 or 1689, so she might have been Lady Russell again after that. DrKay ( talk) 15:45, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Two counties in the United States are named for him, Prince George's County, Maryland, and Prince George County, Virginia. Should they be mentioned in this article? Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
The subject appears in 'Category:English royal consorts' and 'Category:Scottish royal consorts' under 'P', despite the fact that his defaultsort is 'George Of Denmark'. I suspect that this is because he is in these categories through the templates. Compare 'Category:Irish royal consorts' of which he is a member in the normal way, and in which he appears under 'G', as I suggest that he should. I added him to the English and Scottish categories manually, which made him appear there under 'G', but my edit was reverted 'remove duplication; already in these categories, through the templates'. Can anyone suggest how best to make him appear under 'G' rather than 'P'? Thanks in advance. Alekksandr ( talk) 20:15, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

A sentence I added that Sarah Churchill believed Cumberland to be having a homosexual relationship with George Churchill was taken out with the reasoning that it is misleading. I don't think it's misleading at all. I don't see the problem. If editors have concerns can they please clarify so we can determine whether there is a compromise solution going forward. Thanks.

Sorry for being nitpicky. But he was the English consort & Scottish consort, separately from 1702-07. Then British consort, 1707-08. Also, he was the Irish consort, the entire time 1702-08. GoodDay ( talk) 20:30, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
The second proposed version, would be best. GoodDay ( talk) 21:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Prince George of Denmark | |
---|---|
Consort of the English monarch, of the Scottish monarch and of the Irish monarch | |
Reign | 8 March 1702 – 1 May 1707 |
Consort of the British monarch and of the Irish monarch | |
Reign | 1 May 1707 – 28 October 1708 |
Prince George of Denmark | |
---|---|
Consort of the English, Scottish and Irish monarch | |
Reign | 8 March 1702 – 1 May 1707 |
Consort of the British and Irish monarch | |
Reign | 1 May 1707 – 28 October 1708 |
Note: George was the consort of an English & Scottish monarch for 5 years, while consort of a British monarch for about 1 year. GoodDay ( talk) 01:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
The box for Queen Anne is as follows
I.e. it shows that she was Queen of England and Queen of Scotland from 1702-07, and then Queen of Great Britain from 1707-14. I suggest that her husband's succession boxes should correspond to hers, and should be as follows
Alekksandr ( talk) 21:07, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
I would support the change to Prince George's succession box and infobox. Векочел ( talk) 19:23, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
I think Anne should be changed. Ireland wasn't a sovereign state and it is not necessary to have three rows. Celia Homeford ( talk) 14:07, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
@ DrKay There isn’t a garter portrait of George in the article. Perhaps one of the portraits in the article could be replaced with the garter portrait? But honestly there isn’t that many images in the article. The portrait could be added without the article looking crowded. ✠ Robertus Pius ✠ ( Talk • Contribs) 13:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Some degree of reconciliation was achieved following Queen Mary's sudden and unexpected death from smallpox in 1694, which made Anne heiress apparent.[35]
Since Anne's status as heir to the throne could've been replaced by a male son of William, shouldn't this read as "heiress presumptive" instead of "heiress apparent"? 12.233.98.14 ( talk) 20:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
