Death crash

There has been considerable speculation about the exact circumstances of the crash, including a theory that it was actually her daughter who was driving. Is it not acceptable to mention this? Valetude (talk) 15:53, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Grace Kelly's coat-of-arms

I got this response from the Ireland's Office of the Chief Herald about Grace Kelly's coat-of-arms by Heralder when I asked them to verify the arms:

"Thank you for your enquiry which has been passed to me for attention. The short answer to your question is that no one has a right to the use of another's arms. Arms are property. Using the Kelly arms which you describe, or any other pronominal coat, is much akin to claiming a right to drive away another's motor car on the basis that owner and thief have the same surname. In Ireland a right to arms is dependent upon a Grant of Arms from the Chief Herald of Ireland either directly or to an ancestor. I should point out that Kelly is a widespread surname known to have arisen in several different places throughout Ireland so by no means are all Kelly's related. Despite anything which you might have heard or read there is no such thing as clann or sept arms nor has there ever been."

Due to this, I would recommend removing the coat-of-arms from Grace Kelly's Wikimedia page and Wikimedia Commons. Obversa (talk) 14:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged rape of Susanna Moore

Why is this mentioned on this page? If it is just because Grave Kelly dated him, it should be removed. If there is a reason to mention it, the reason should be mentioned along with the alleged rape. 94.217.98.68 (talk) 00:01, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Grace, Princess of Monaco

Shouldn't this page's title be "Grace, Princess of Monaco" instead of "Grace Kelly"? That seems to be how most articles of royals are titled, including Grace's husband (Rainier III, Prince of Monaco), Kate Middleton (Catherine, Princess of Wales) and her own daughter (Caroline, Princess of Hanover). Poldl (talk) 19:55, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is convention to use a royal consort’s maiden name as it is usually their common name, especially when that individual is deceased. Grace Kelly was a royal consort in the same capacity as Alexandra of Denmark, or Louise of Sweden. AKTC3 (talk) 14:19, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few royal consort's profiles where this convention is not followed, but I can see how that makes sense. Thank you! Poldl (talk) 02:20, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I think it should be their final name that is the main headline. There seems to be a lot of other royals that are using their maiden names or titles whereas as the men who marry into royal families their names at the time of their death is used.

"relatively low"

Why is $850/week for 7 years "relatively low", that's 9558$ as of 2022 (or half a million a year) for a 23 year old? lol I wish I was getting that "low" Gendalv (talk) 10:08, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the Table of Contents?

One of the few really GOOD features of Wikipedia is the T.O.C. which appears near the beginning of most long articles. Good feature, for multiple reasons!

But many pages are missing the Table of Contents, including this one. I hope that one of you fine Wiki editors will "pick up the ball" and perhaps design a Bot to prepare the T.of.C. automatically. Please give me a link, either here or on my Talk page) when any discussion of such a Bot is advanced.

Thanks in advance.˜˜˜˜ ˜˜˜˜ Jamesdowallen (talk) 19:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jamesdowallen, a ToC is automatically generated when there are enough level-2 headings (I think 2 or more). This article has a ToC. Schazjmd (talk) 20:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
