Married when and where? edit

The marriage paragraph, which I just stuck a {dubious} tag on, is all muddled up, in number of ceremonies and in locations. Would someone who has access to reliable sources please clear this up? Textorus (talk) 04:58, 29 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

The originally cited source, as well as the 1944 Almanach de Gotha (p. 92), 2002's Le Petit Gotha (p. 99), and 2002's "The Descendants of King George I of Great Britain" (p. 696) all concur that there were two weddings: the first civil, on 1 October 1940 at Doorn, Netherlands and the second, religious, on 5 October 1940 at Berlin, Germany. The cite placing the civil marriage at Berlin can be ignored as an obvious error or can be contextualized in the article, e.g., "Although most sources state that the civil marriage occurred 1 October 1940 at Haus Doorn in the Netherlands, one source..."

Since you have the Gotha at hand, why don't you rewrite that paragraph in the article, then? I don't have a copy, so I'm not going to write what I can't verify with my own eyes.Textorus (talk) 19:50, 17 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
