A new "family tree" has been added. It

• claims that the current king is the grandson of a king who was deposed in 1809!
• also claims he is the grandson one of of Sweden's Queens Margaret - one died in 1298, one in 1412 and the latest in 1551!
• omitted Queen Ingrid of Denmark, though including all 4 three of her brothers.
• against WP:CBALL includes one person scheduled to be married months from now in a family where engagements have been broken off before.
• against WP:CBALL includes one fetus which may or may not be born and may or may not be royal if so (father is not).

Writing to the contributor now about fixing this up. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:06, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing out the mistakes. They should be fixed, now. I apologize for the WP:CBALL errors and for the Gustaf VI Adolf mistake (that was a typo, it was late at night--my bad). Princess Ingrid is not included because she is deceased and her descendants are members of the Danish Royal Family, not the Swedish Royal Family. Prince Bertil and his wife Princess Lilian are not included because they are both deceased. The idea of the tree was to, like the one included on the British Royal Family page, show the relationships of the current, living members of the Royal Family…the only deceased members included are those who are common ancestors of current members or those necessary to connect current members to the tree (ie. Countesses Marianne and Gunnila would not be members of the family if not for their marriages to Counts Sigvard and Carl Johan, respectively). Lastly, "Queen Margaret", while incorrectly titled, was always linked to Princess Margaret of Connaught. ~ Iamthecheese44 (talk) 16:52, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An IP tried to add the new Prince Alexander but it didn't work. Needs to be added & I don't know how to do it. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:53, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There used to be more stuff in it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:23, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see it. There's Talk:Swedish Royal Family/Archive 1 and Talk:Swedish royal family/Archive 1. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:47, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe this revert is constructive. Better to have a piped link on the names of the little princes than no link at all. We are here to inform readers as facilely as possible, not to limit their ready access to naturally relevant information. Will revert again unless something convincing is written here. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:19, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
