Even if Mario-Max had never been adopted by his stepfather, he would as a stepchild have been in the same position as Marius Borg Høiby or Wolfie Mapelli Mozzi, who are mentioned in their respective royal families' subforums.

I would say your stance is shared by the overwhelming majority in royalty discussions not only in this forum but in other fora also.
The fact that most people are supportive of the Belgian judiciary awarding royal titles to Delphine as a special favor restricted to her and her children without altering the unequal situation of other out of wedlock descendants of nobility, but - at the same time - adamantly criticize the laws of the republic of Germany which allow
all children of titled families to receive the same titles in their names without discrimination on the basis of legitimacy - confounds me, to be honest. From my perspective the latter approach is more equitable than the former. Would anyone explain why most people have the opposing stance?
