Royal Style thread: part 2

[QueenOfTheAndals]

As requested!

Beatrice and Eugenie will just have a Miss or Master as children like Zara & Peter, so they can call them anything they want.
There would be a weight of expectation on a future Princess Victoria, just because of the name, same as a Princess Diana.

I think Harry & Meghan’s kids will be Viscount / Lord / Lady like Sophie & Edward’s children. Unless Kate pops out one more, Louis is the last Prince of this current generation.

Yes, but they may decide on Miss Victoria Brooksbank. That sounds nice! I agree that William and Harry will avoid Diana as a first name. Weight of expectation as you say.

Is Diana not one of charlottes middle names?

Yes, they wouldn't use it as a first name.

Yes it is @WipsGlitter. Earl Spencer's youngest daughter is also Charlotte Diana.

I find it a little odd that William gave the name Louis to both his sons, considering that he never even knew Mountbatten.

That struck me as odd. How could they run out of names? Surely they could find another one? The odds were on Albert and Arthur weren't they?

My private theory is that they'd decided on Albert - until someone pointed out the significance of a Prince Albert, and they quickly changed it to something less controversial - which is how Louis came to be used (again!).

I'd heard the Albert theory, too

To be fair, Louis is a nicer name than Albert. And they really should've gone with Arthur instead of George for their firstborn!

But they didn't know at the time that their second son would be born on St. George's Day!

It's all personal taste when it comes to names.

It's interesting that the three male Spencer cousins are George, Alexander and Louis!

@ajandjjmum I meant because he'd eventually be King Arthur!

King Arthur would have been great!! I heard that Kate wanted Alexander.

Sorry ..... yes that would have been brilliant!

If Charles becomes King do Harry’s children not get upgraded to princes/ princesses as male line grandchildren of a monarch unless Harry turns it down like Edward did for his kids.

I've read various rumours over the years that Charles is going to reign as George VII. But I can't believe it's true - he's been a Prince for so long that it'll be hard enough to think of him as King Charles, let alone King George!

Speaking of names, who knew one of the Queen Mum's names was Angela?

King Charles III spaniel

Yes, that's a nice name. Also Marguerite. I heard that about Charles and George VII, could be weird! In the Dimbleby biography it claims that Charles wanted to call their sons Arthur and Albert but was over ruled by Diana.

That would be weird Charles reigning as George VII, bearing in mind Prince George already exists.
Marguerite was apparently the name of the Queen Mother’s parent’s French cook. She was rumoured to be the mother of the QM and her youngest brother.
Edward V111 s nickname for her was therefore “cookie”

Oh yes, I've heard those rumours. Along with the ones about HM and her sister being conceived via artificial insemination as their father had problems getting it up!

Oops no, it was apparently because the Queen Mum didn't like sex! Then again, it's Lady Colin Campbell - not the most reliable source!

I thought the artificial insemination was because of Bertie's health problems? Let's not doubt Lady CC!

Like the QM would have gone around telling people she hadn’t conceived naturally? It is odd she only had two children though in the days before contraception.

The evidence is from the doctor in a letter to a colleague. He wrote something about the QM being pregnant and the "procedure" was a success (words to that effect).
