Wouldn't it be better if we changed the template to this:
It makes the weddings more clear (by putting them on one bullet), and shows that Fabiola is not the mother of Philippe, Astrid and Laurent Cheezycrust 19:48, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Why were Princess Astrid's children removed from the template? Officially, they ARE members of the Belgian Royal Family, and they carry the title Prince/ss of Belgium, as does their father. Morhange 17:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

@ Surtsicna:: This edit is not an an "outdated, patriarchial and rather sexist view," it's just how things work. Diana, Sarah, Camilla, Kate, Sophie, Birgitte, Katherine, and Marie Christine were/are not British princesses but, were/are members of the British Royal Family because they married into it. HI&RH Archduchess Elisabetta is the same with Belgium. Cebr1979 ( talk) 21:57, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
There seems to be confusion here as to what we are discussing. We are not discussing whether or not she is a princess, we are discussing whether or not she is a member her husband's family and, the answer to that is: yes, of course she is. That's what a wedding does. Cebr1979 ( talk) 01:58, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
