The new heir to the throne: the as-yet unnamed son of Prince William and Kate Middleton has become fifth in line to the royal throne in the House of Windsor. So far, all we know about him is that he weighs 3.8 kg, but Prince George and Princess Charlotte have already managed to prove themselves. Gazeta.Ru talks about the eldest children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The royal couple's eldest child, George, will turn five on July 22, 2018. His full name— George Alexander Louis. George was named after George VI, the Queen's father, Alexander is Elizabeth II's middle name, and Louis is a tribute to Louis Mountbatten, Prince Philip's uncle. George is third in line for british throne after his father Prince William and grandfather Prince Charles, and if crowned he would be known as King George VII.
The boy attended a rather modest school, and in September last year he went to. Kate and William chose for their son general school Thomas's Battersea, where both girls and boys are educated. In doing so, they broke tradition, but this was done so that Charlotte could later study with her brother.
The prince was introduced to his classmates as George Cambridge.
Even before George was born, they managed to christen him the most famous child in the world. And there is nothing surprising in the fact that royal family has been so popular since an early age. To mark his second anniversary, the Royal Mint has released a limited edition of St. George's five pound coins. new coin appeared in the UK and in honor of his first birthday. On one side there is a portrait of the Queen, and the family coats of arms on the other. Together with his great-grandmother Elizabeth II, the boy became the hero of a new book about Winnie the Pooh, released in honor of the Queen's 90th birthday. According to the plot, main character books are sent to Buckingham Palace, where he meets the queen along with George.
The princess's full name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. This name was given to the girl as a tribute to her great-grandmother, as well as William's late mother, Princess Diana. Charlotte is currently fourth in line to the throne behind her older brother Prince George.
The princess is only two years old, but she already has her own preferences and favorite activities. Charlotte shares her mom's love of pink. This is her favorite color. Since the royal family does not lead a lavish lifestyle and sees nothing wrong with appearing in public several times in the same clothes, Charlotte often wears one of her favorite pink floral dresses.
The girl loves to dance. During a meeting with Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat and his family, William told his daughter about this hobby. When Mrs Muscat said that her ten-year-old twin daughters were in drama school, William replied that if we're talking about about the stage, Charlotte likes to dance.
The royal family pays special attention to sports. Prince George began to explore this winter skiing, and Charlotte attends equestrian lessons.
Since William and Kate are tennis fans, their children are already mastering this sport.
George and Charlotte study at private club Hurlingham in London, although, as training reports say, due to their age, the children just want to hit the ball.
To sports by reverse side TV screens are also treated well. The whole family supports the English football club Aston Villa and loves to wear clothes with the team's symbols. As for “non-sports” programs, Kate and William try to show children only domestic cartoons. Charlotte's favorite cartoon series is Peppa Pig, and George's favorite is Fireman Sam.
Although the royal family tries, by and large, to respect healthy image life, parents do not deny George and Charlotte food that is not the healthiest. Their favorite food is pizza and pasta. They like to cook with their mother: Kate told about this in community center Saint Louis during the preparation of food for the Great Commonwealth Luncheon. The Duchess explained that they especially enjoy getting their hands dirty in the sticky dough during the cooking process.
In addition, despite their young age, Charlotte and George already speak a little Spanish, and this is the merit of their nanny, originally from Spain, who, by the way, the kids only have one between them.
The children of William and Kate are often recognized as the best dressed. For example, two years ago GQ magazine included the prince in the list of the most stylishly dressed men in England, and together with the princess they are ahead of their mother in the ranking of the most fashionable members of royal families. The clothes in which Windsors appear (including future ones, like Meghan Markle) immediately become popular, and sales of such models increase tens and even hundreds of times.

His chosen one turned out to be Kate Middleton, a commoner, which shocked many. Gossips they even prophesied that this couple would separate quite soon.

And overjoyed after the successful goal, he announced that he would name the baby Jack (in honor of the author of this goal).
Thus, journalists had a reason to declare in advance that they not only know when the third child of the royal crown couple will be born, but also what his name is.

The fact is that the children of Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock are also of morganatic marriage. By the way, the ruler of Monaco acquired a new family status also in 2011, with a difference of only a few months from the wedding of the son of the Prince of Wales.

“There are few princes, and there aren’t enough for them all,” Sanya declares.
“Yes, there’s only one left, and that Englishman,” Sonya answers.
- Well, that’s how it should be taught. English language and fast! - Sanya found a way out of the situation.
After the death of his mother, Princess Diana, Prince William of Wales for a long time tried not to communicate with the media and kept his personal life secret. The heir's age was already approaching 30 years. And when it became known that the prince had chosen his bride, questions immediately began about who she was.
Prince William and Kate's relationship for a long time did not go beyond friendly
Catherine Elizabeth Middleton comes from a family of businessmen. The girl entered the Scottish University of St. Andrews, where she met William. By the way, in college she studied athletics and tennis, and at the university she played for the local hockey team.

Without waiting for an official reaction from Queen Elizabeth II to the appearance of her sixth great-grandson, someone - it is logical to assume that the staff of Madame Tussauds - decided to make an elegant joke. While Her Majesty enjoyed a horseback ride in Windsor, a wax replica of her was driven in a black cab in front of a crowd of royal fans gathered outside St Mary's Hospital. The joke was received with delight! Moreover, the wax Elizabeth II in a pink suit and with traditional strings of pearl beads was very similar to the original.

Until the royal family announced the name of the future heir to the throne, journalists were able to discern a hint in Kate Middleton's gesture. In the UK, bookmakers even accepted bets on this account, and among others, the name Arthur was among the favorites. Yesterday, at the door of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital, during an official photo shoot with her newborn, Kate Middleton waved in the direction of official royal photographer Arthur Jay Edwards. Will the boy really be named Arthur after all? - the media immediately assumed. However, little is left to guess. Soon the Dukes of Cambridge will definitely announce what name they have chosen for the child.
The name for the future fifth-line heir to the throne began to be discussed long before Middleton went to St. Mary's Hospital. During the duchess’s pregnancy, the prince made it clear to everyone that it was worth waiting for “Jack,” and in the case of a girl, he said, he would vote for his female version, “Jackie.” It turned out that the prince wanted to borrow a name that had nothing to do with the history of the royal family from his favorite Irish football player. football club Aston Villa, midfielder.
While leaving the maternity wing of the Lido with his newborn son in his arms, William shouted to journalists that the young prince would definitely have a “strong name” - here is an example of British humor.
On April 25, William faced the fate of any parent who had not yet chosen a name for their child. He attended a service in Westminster Abbey in honor of ANZAC Day - the Australian and New Zealand equivalent of our Defender of the Fatherland Day. During a conversation with New Zealand's High Commissioner to England, Sir Gerry Mateparai, the Dean of Westminster joked: "Gerry wishes it were Gerry." To this the Duke replied: “Gerry is a strong name, absolutely.”
Kate and William's eldest son is named George, but officially he should be called George Alexander Louis. The first name is inherited from his great-grandmother's father, the second is the masculine version of Elizabeth's own middle name, and Louis was Prince Phillip's uncle. In fact, this is why Louis became such an unexpected option and the family decided to duplicate one of the eldest’s names. The couple's daughter, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, was born in 2015, and her name turns out to be the feminine version of her father, William Charles, although that explanation sounds a bit like a cop-out.
A royal's name is usually made up of three, but the British clearly preferred "Arthur". If the heir of the fifth line became king, then Britain would finally have not a mystical King Arthur, but a real one.
But this is not about King Arthur - royalty does not name their children as a joke. They use the names of their ancestors, and the name Arthur was one of the baptismal names of Elizabeth II's father, George VI. His full name was Albert Frederick Arthur George. Based on this, the royalists made another assumption: they assumed that the child could be named Albert, which was the name former king George VI before becoming head of state.
The full name of Elizabeth II's great-grandson, born on April 23 at the Lindo Wing in Paddington, is Louis Arthur Charles, so given the objectively small likelihood that he will become king after four previous contenders for the throne of Great Britain, he may well become Arthur.
In general, trying to predict the name of an unborn child is incredibly difficult, especially if the parents themselves do not know the gender of the unborn baby.
We don’t know what Duchess Kate would name her second daughter, but we do know what name the passionate Britons voted for: Alice, Mary and Victoria received the most votes.
If the origins are clear, then where did the other two come from? The history of the British royal family includes more than seven Marys, one of them was Queen Mary I, who ruled Great Britain in the 16th century for forty years, and Alice was the second daughter of the famous Queen Victoria.
The couple introduced their third child to the world just seven hours after his birth. It was stated that the boy weighed almost 4 kg at birth, and that he and his mother were in good health and doing well.
Kensington Palace, which is the official residence of the Dukes of Cambridge (they share it with Meghan Markle), said two days later that the name would be announced "in due course." Let us remember that the choice of the names of Louis' brother and sister, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, was announced after exactly two days, but apparently they could not decide on the name of the younger one until after four days.
He did this after his beloved football team won, after the decisive goal from Jack Grealish, 35-year-old royal heir joyfully noted that “he will insist that the baby be named Jack.”
It is known that bookmakers previously highlighted such names as Arthur, Albert and James among the favorites, and among fans of the royal family, many were confident that the baby would be named after his great-grandfather Philip.
Tony Appleton also spoke about this four days before the Duchess gave birth. According to the man who has already publicly announced the birth of three royal babies three times, the boy will have to be named after Prince Philip. Bookmakers put 16/1 on this name.
Still, the couple surprised many by giving their third child the name Louis. It is worth noting that their firstborn also bears this name - George Alexander Louis of Cambridge.
If the name of the child was kept secret for some time, then what the royal heir would bear was known immediately. It is interesting that the boy or his parents can choose any surname for him, based on the family name. But, most likely, he will inherit the family name of his grandmother-queen.
