@DrKay:, I see that you have reverted my edit in the infobox regarding Lady Agneta's style as The Honourable, which she is entitled to as the wife of Rear Admiral The Honourable Victor Montagu. I understand your point that she, by birth, has a higher station as "The Lady". But other women who have married The Hons, are still entitled to that prefix, regardless of their titles, such as Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy. Would that then not apply here? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:13, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
You're claiming that Princess Alexandra is not Her Royal Highness and is instead The Honorable because she married a man of lower status? She has a higher style in her own right. The daughter of an earl who marries Mr Montagu is correctly called Lady Agneta Montagu or Lady Agneta for short. She is not called Mrs Montagu. If you think otherwise, please provide sources that call her the Honorable Mrs Victor Montagu. DrKay (talk) 17:19, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm not claiming that at all. The title of her article literally uses "The Honourable" in it.. She is "Her Royal Highness The Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy". -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 17:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the claim that she would be The Honorable Princess Alexandra is indeed utterly unsubstantiated. And yet, you make the same claim here for another woman, with absolutely no sources whatsoever. DrKay (talk) 17:25, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
You have continuously accused me of "making claims" and disregarded what I've been asking you. Simply, from the start, if "The Honourable" would truly not apply in this situation (see the original post above). It was a genuine question. A simple "no" would have sufficed. No need to be continuously hostile and patronizing. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 00:58, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
