A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on December 31, 2017.

Since she does not use the official/traditional umlaut of the Fürstenberg surname, this article should be retitled accordingly.Kitchawan 17:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Remarriage means that she is not merely "no longer entitled to use the title princess following her divorce and subsequent remarriage in 2001", but no longer entitled to use the surname Von Furstenberg either.203.184.41.226 (talk) 01:56, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As Kitchawan has now cited in the edt history, according to the

Guy Sainty has publicly criticized the Gotha and GHdA for inadvertently misleading genealogists and monarchists into believing that Heads of deposed dynasties automatically have marital authority over cadets, even in cases where no such authority ever legally existed under the monarchy). In Furstenberg, the Head had no authority to grant or withhold authorization to marriages of cadets, and GHdA cannot -- and does not purport -- to have conferred such authority on any dynastic Head.

The article needs to be consistent, from title to text to footnotes. Do we use the umlaut or not? She doesn't anymore, as a call to her office attests.Kitchawan 18:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In Germany, nobility has been abolished for 90 years now. Members of noble houses can only "keep" a title as part of their last name. It's not a title anymore, so it cannot precede the complete name and it cannot be translated. Therefore it's Diane Prinzessin von Fürstenberg (where "Prinzessin von Fürstenberg" is the last name), not Prinzessin Diane von Fürstenberg (Princess = Prinzessin). The German Wikipedia article gets it right. I highly doubt that the Genealogisches Handbuch claims differently. It's the same for her former husband and her children.--134.130.4.242 (talk) 00:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While Germany no longer officially recognizes noble titles, the noble families still do. Her marriage was considered dynastic by the House of Furstenberg, and therefore, to the family, she was considered a princess at the time she was married to Egon. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 02:55, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems needlessly petty and gossipy to point out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.184.81.186 (talk) 19:56, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Her father was Romanian. That is clear enough. But was her mother Greek? I am not sure that "Nahmias" is a Greek name. What is the relevance of calling her a "Holocaust survivor". That does not define anyone, particularly their identity.203.184.41.226 (talk) 02:46, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nahmias is a Jewish name. She was a Greek Jew. And being the child of a survivor has defined her identity, as she has said, and as many children of survivors attest. -- 64.131.245.59 (talk) 10:11, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article says her first marriage ended in 1972, the infobox has 1983. (and the Prince's article says 1972) Can someone please verify?Naraht (talk) 22:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
