Television?[edit]

Famous due to television coverage in 1936? Surely it was more likely to be newsreel footage? A picture would be great too. Lisiate 23:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to have been fixed.Stevebritgimp (talk) 13:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rory Underwood[edit]

I think that someone is stretching the definition of Eastern European to class Rory Underwood as such. He is described as Chinese-English in the article --Yendor1958 07:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This also appears to have been fixed.Stevebritgimp (talk) 13:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Place of Birth[edit]

"born in Petrograd (as Saint Petersburg was then known)". It was then known as St Petersburg and now known as St Petersburg so why mention Petrograd at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.97.85 (talk) 08:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At the momemt of the Prince's birth the name of city was Petrograd. -- Worobiew (talk) 21:07, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
