Overall: Article was recently expanded 5x, is long enough and well sourced. The photos are free but they aren't present in the article. Hook is interesting, assuming good faith on offline source cited in article. No copyvio and qpq is done. This hook is ready for promotion without the photo (unless there's another photo in the article that works) with the engraving but not the Battle of Lepanto painting which isn't present in the article.

Comment I think the nominator's argument is correct, given the fact that Queen Mary II was known as "Lady Mary"[1] and Queen Anne was known as "Lady Anne" before their respective marriages and eventual ascension to the throne.[2] But I am also curious to see what the creator of this page User:Unoquha has to say.

Disagree, I do not know of any evidence to support a notion that the word and title "Princess" was not used in Scotland and England before an 18th-century date. Her brother, Henry Frederick, was known as "Prince Henry" both in Scotland and England, and she was called both "Princess" and "Lady Elizabeth" before her marriage. In 1599, the Scottish royal accounts mention items bought for the "Ladie Princes Elizabeth" and "Princes Elizabeth" and the "Princes", as she was then called in the Scots language, some examples here, Letters to King James the Sixth (Edinburgh, 1835), pp. lxxiv, lxxiv, etc. I do not think she was called plain "Elizabeth Stuart" by her contemporaries, and modern historians generally refer to her as "Princess Elizabeth" before her marriage.Unoquha (talk) 08:39, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. It seems that the title was in use to some degree back then, but not in the form we know today. It's like the style Majesty for the monarch which was introduced during Henry VIII's time but it was not used exclusively until later on. Keivan.fTalk13:08, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Technically, in the case of her brother, he held the title of Prince of Wales, so that could also be a factor in him being called that.
I hadn't actually seen any younger children of the monarchs called Prince or Princess, except the Prince of Wales. But nonetheless the title should still be consistent with the main article on her. estar8806 (talk) ★22:12, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
