Can anyone directly confirm her full name? I am enquiring because de.Wikipedia has a noticably different name than en.Wikipedia.--

According to the Peerage (
[1]), her full name is Friederike Wilhelmina Luise Amalie. The Peerage uses as its source: C. Arnold McNaughton, The Book of Kings: A Royal Genealogy. The name was anglisized for the English Wikipedia. As for the difference from the German Wiki in the order of names, I can only say that either she went by both, or there was a mistake in the German article. Hope that clarifies everything.

Thank you for the quick response. I noticed this when I looked at the section of the infobox noting her German name and I decided to compare the article with the German version.--

Portrait Identification
We have a HUGE problem here -- both Frederica of Prussia and her mother, Frederica of Mecklenburg, have this as their portrait and it just confused me to the point of changing a few things around on several pages (as I thought it was linking to the same page). This portrait of Frederica of Prussia, uses an unknown page with no sources which states it's the Princess of Prussia
Duchess of Anhalt. This portrait, the Queen of Hanover (Frederica of Prussia's mother), uses Facebook as its source for the portrait
Queen of Hanover. So which is which? --

Requested move 7 September 2023
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Comment A hatnote would be enough for the purpose of disambiguation in this scenario. No need for the years and numbers. EDIT: DrKay pointed out there are other individuals with the same name, so maybe we should avoid giving unreasonable prominence to one person? Keivan.fTalk12:06, 7 September 2023 (UTC)reply
Oppose. The claim that 'she was the only Prussian princess known as just "Frederica".' is utterly false, as can be easily demonstrated by simple internet searches.

Simple internet searches show her as the first result
[2], because she was the only one called exclusively "Frederica" alone. The only other result is Princess Frederica Charlotte of Prussia, who may have been called just "Frederica" from time to time, but her name was formally "Princess Frederica Charlotte". That would imply
WP:NATURAL disambiguation and a hatnote could resolve confusion between the three.

Comment: "Duchess of Anhalt" does not seem like the appropriate disambiguator, it should rather be "Duchess of Anhalt-Dessau". Looking at
Leopold IV, Duke of Anhalt, he only styled himself "Duke of Anhalt" in 1863 after Frederica had already died. BegbertBiggs (
