It depends on the situation but in most cases, the answer is Yes.
For ex: if your company is executing a project to create a website for my company, I am a stakeholder of the project but i am external to your company. I dont work in your company, but the success or failure of your project has a direct impact on me. Hence I am a primary stakeholder even though I am external.
A stakeholder is a person or an organisation who has a 'stake' in the company. Shareholders are stakeholders. Other examples include: suppliers, banks and even government. Customers are usually considered as a kind of stakeholder.

It depends on the project. Sometimes internal stakeholders are much more important than external stakeholders, sometimes external stakeholders don't even exist in the project (it's mainly an internal project). So I think the answer is Yes, an internal stakeholder can be considered a primary stakeholder.
Generally, stakeholders are external. If an employee is at the same time a stakeholder of the company he works for, then he is both internal and external.
