Talk:Prince Regent

Latest comment: 9 years ago by PBS

Although George IV is the best known such prince, given that we are an international encyclopedia I question if we can treat him as the primary meaning, and as a general rule we should avoid attaching decisive importance to such differences in capitalization. I suggest this should be a redirect to Prince regent. PatGallacher (talk) 14:05, 24 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

It may be an international encyclopaedia, but in English language reliable sources, an unqualified mention of the Prince Regent overwhelmingly means the man who would become George IV of England. A whole era is named after him (Regency) no other prince regent has an era so named. We should follow usage in reliable sources.
