Move

The lady never became empress-consort of Austria since her husband shot himself before he assumed the throne. Therefore request to move to her maiden form of title. Gryffindor 12:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

• Support - To the casual observer, Stephanie would appear to be the deceased Empress/Queen consort of Emperor/King Someone of Somewhere, since her article is titled as those of Mary of Teck and Alexandra Fyodorovna of Hesse. She is not. Prsgoddess187 12:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Support as per Wiki standards, this woman was never queen-empress. Charles 14:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Search Issues

Typing

Stephanie of Belgium

in the search box doesn't find this page. However, typing

"Stephanie of Belgium"

does. A subtle point, but rather user unfriendly, no?

Considering this lady never became empress-consort of Austria, shouldn't this article's name revert to her maiden form of "Princess Stéphanie of Belgium"? Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) on naming queen consorts (point 9) does not apply in this case, but point 4. Gryffindor 11:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Memoirs

What conceivable court could have prevented Princess Stéphanie from publishing her memoirs? Austria was a republic in 1935, and I imagine it had other worries (such as imminent annexation by Germany) than what was in the memoirs of a defunct princess. Gsandi 13:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Defunct? Princess Stéphanie wanted to publish her memoirs and in 1935 she was alive. Maybe Austria government was afraid that the truth about Mayerling would be disclosed.

Photo

Is the present photo really Stephanie of Belgium? It doesn't seem her. It is more like Queen Alexandra of UK, wife of Edward VII.

Archduchess Maria Antonia

I am struggling to find this person, is it possible that you are referring to Archduchess Maria Annunciata of Austria (13 July 1876 – 8 April 1961) who was only 4 year of age in 1880 when the quest for a bride seems to have been ongoing? If so then this would match as she was indeed Rudolph's first cousin and the daughter of a Portuguese Infanta but it would seem that her age was likely to be a greater obstacle to her marriage to Rudolph than her status as a first cousin. If this is the case then a correction of the second name and link to the relevant web page would seem a positive addition, however if not then it would really help to have the full and proper details of this potential bride whom I can only assume must have been a second or third cousin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.11.104.107 (talk) 11:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
