Reference of the Princesses
editI checked MOS:HONORIFIC and I still fail to see why the Princesses’ article of “The” can’t be used in reference. They weren’t just “Princess Elizabeth” and “Princess Margaret,” for they were daughters of the British sovereign. This is convention as with subsequent articles like the children referred to in the article of the coronation of George V and Mary, and so forth. The article” “The” doesn’t seem to be an honorific, but a mere article for distinction as princesses of the United Kingdom as the children of the sovereign. AKTC3 (talk) 16:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- I think it is an honorific, but even if it isn't, it's unnecessary jargon, and articles should be written in plain English. DrKay (talk) 18:02, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Bromsgove "artwork"
edit
We had this image in the article, captioned:

It looks to me to be the standard monogram-and-date used on most British Crown (i.e. main) Post Offices of the period. I have removed it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:48, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
