Do we want this to be a list of all the Princesses ever, or a list of currently living Princesses? Some of the people on the list are deceased, most are living. Which way do we want to go. Prsgoddess187 13:43, 27 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Removal from heads of state edit

I removed this category from heads of state, because I think it's rather uncommon for a princess to be a head of state. Can people weigh in here on whether princess and prince should be in Category:Heads of state? --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 17:27, 16 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

They are heads of state in principalities. Maybe there could be a sub-cat for the royalty-based ones, but Princesses are not rarer than Counts, Landgraves, or Hospodars. Also, "This category is for types and aspects of the office of head of state, in a fairly wide sense." __ E L A Q U E A T E 17:47, 16 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Container category? edit

I am wondering if this should lose its container status given the number of articles in it? The explanatory text does say "Please sub-categorize by nationality when possible", which I think is a better approach.
