United Kingdom, or Great Britain...

In this edit another contributor removed the assertion Charlotte was a citizen of the United Kingdom, and asserted her nationality was British.

It is my understanding that, prior to the merging of the English and Scottish crowns, there were two separate citizenships. Some people were of Scottish citizenship, other were of English citizenship.

I am not going to look up the exact date. Around 1700.

It is my understanding that people from either Scotland or England were then citizens of Great Britain. It was correct to say those individuals were "British".

During the 1700s Ireland was still a separate country, with its own Parliament, and its own House of Lords.

So, when Ireland merged with Great Britain, was the new country named "The United Kingdom"? It is my understanding that, while citizens may still refer to themselves as "British", because there is no convenient term for an "UKian", this is not technically correct.

You are from there? Go fetch out your passport. Does it say "Great Britain"? Or does it say "United Kingdom"? George Swan (talk) 20:26, 13 February 2024 (CST)

referencectomy

John, you removed a reference in this edit.

Did you consider replacing it with a superior reference?

I used it in George Mountbatten-Windsor and Charles_III. If it is a terribly inaccurate reference it should be replaced with the superior reference you supply here, everywhere it is used.

I used it to document the change that put Charlotte on an equal footing with her siblings, not coming after her younger brothers, like Princess Anne. George Swan (talk) 20:34, 13 February 2024 (CST)

  • Can you please explain why you described it as a "rubbish source", so I can recognize another one? It looks OK to me. George Swan (talk) 20:41, 13 February 2024 (CST)
