This is a purely genealogical entry, yet Wikipedia is not a genealogy database. She was a princess only to those who chose to call her that and the general public had no idea that she existed. She lived a private life as a private citizen and an encyclopedia has no business covering her. Surtsicna (talk) 17:05, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete She was not really a princess or a duchess since she was born after Germany became a republic, and some decades after the Kingdom of Hanover was annnexed by Prussia. PatGallacher (talk) 18:11, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not supposed to be a genealogical dictionary even for royal families that held power, this applies even more to royal families deposed before the subject of coverage was born.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:10, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
