Princess Kate and her husband Prince William welcomed their first child in 2013, but the couple also had many disputes over the name. You must know that this child is not only the eldest son of the Cambridge family, but also the direct heir to the future British throne, so he must follow the royal rules. When
announced the pregnancy, royal fans were curious whether Kate would give birth to a little prince or a little princess, and what their names would be. The most widely speculated choice for the prince's name is "George", because it is not only a traditional favorite, but also a name common to the previous six British kings, and is the father of William his beloved grandmother Queen Elizabeth , also called this name.
Although she did not deliberately know the gender of her child, as a mother, Kate also firmly believed that her first child would be a son. However, the "George" that William preferred was not her favorite. Because she thinks this name is a bit too traditional. According to reports from royal experts on "Vanity Fair", Princess Kate actually wholeheartedly wanted to choose another name for her son, "Alexander." The name
has not been used by the king of England, but it has been used by several kings of and of Scotland, so it is also a proper king's name.
In fact, there is another point. The Queen of England's full name is "Elizabeth Alexandra Mary", and Alexander is also the male form of Alexandra. Kate also hopes to pay tribute to the Queen.
However, Kate still failed to win over her husband in the end. Prince William has the final say in the family. He hopes that his son will use George as his first name, following the footsteps of several previous kings.
But Princess Kate still had a backup plan. She used her favorite Alexander as her son's middle name. Prince George's full name is " George Alexander Louis", and the "Louis" at the end is A tribute to Charles Crown Prince’s most respected uncle Louis Mountbatten .
I have to say that Princess Kate is quite adaptable. If she continues to be obsessed with her son's first name, not only will she have a bigger dispute with William, but it will also have an impact on the couple's relationship.
Therefore, he compromised first, putting George first, and at the same time, he put his favorite Alexander in the middle. This not only satisfied his wish, but also did not offend William and the royal family. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
After the issue of the name of their eldest son George, the names of their other two children, Charlotte and Prince Louis, also included discussions between the couple, especially their daughter Princess Charlotte.
Charlotte's full name is "Charlotte Elizabeth Diana'. The first two names are a female version of her grandfather Charles, and the other is a tribute to the Queen, but her mother Diana is also the person William misses. Put it down. At the end of her name, Diana expressed her longing for her mother and would not embarrass the royal family too much.
When choosing a name for her child, Princess Kate always pays attention to balancing all considerations, hoping to satisfy everyone. Compared to Meghan and Harry, who ignorantly gave her grandma’s nickname Lilibei to her newborn. Having a daughter in the first place and spending time with the royal family is really too smart and too decent.
