Line of succession to the British throne

In the -Titles & styles- section, an editor & I appear to be in disagreement on how to describe Prince Archie's place in the line of succession the British throne & the 14 other Commonwealth realm thrones. So what is the view of others? Note this may potentially effect many other bios of members of British royal family. PS - I may consider opening an RFC on this matter, if the bold change isn't reverted. After all, others input should be invited. GoodDay (talk) 02:35, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Of course, you misrepresent both the disagreement and your revert. The dispute cannot be about "how to describe Prince Archie's place in the line of succession to the British throne and the 14 other Commonwealth realms" since your stated position, so far, is that there is to be NO mention of the non-British realms whatsoever. The true dispute, therefore, is between pretending he's in line to one throne and acknowledging the reality he's in line to multiple. And, by attempting to impose your blinkered reality, you carelessly undid what was mostly the tidying of citations and various copyedits.
You know my feelings about you and RfCs. But, I'm not a drama junkie and thus don't follow editors around and jump straight to firing up more, draining, simultaneous disputes. I'll focus on the issue as it pertains to the article Charles III, for now. -- MIESIANIACAL 02:52, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
If you won't revert. I'll put together a RFC with the three options - the status quo, your version & a third option. GoodDay (talk) 02:59, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
For the Styles and Titles section. I will consider recommending "...sixth in line to the British throne and the thrones of the 14 other Commonwealth realms (he was seventh in line at birth)...". GoodDay (talk) 03:05, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
The vast majority of sources say throne. This is a choice between the majoritarian and commonsense view that there is a single shared throne and the minority selectively supported view that there are several. It is unnecessary and undesirable to employ a dozen words where one will do. DrKay (talk) 08:14, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I've looked through the other British royal bios with a 'styles & titles' section. Archie & Lilibet are the only ones that mention anything about being in line for any throne. Perhaps it should be deleted from both bio's style/titles section. GoodDay (talk) 11:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
