It should be noted that, despite her so small age, the young lady knows how to perfectly behave in society. Parents do not particularly indulge the public with the presence of their children, but several times Charlotte appeared at public events, such as the wedding of her aunt Pippa Middleton or a royal tour to Poland and Germany.

Shortly before the birth of the third baby, the prince let slip about his name.

And overjoyed after a successful goal, he said that he would name the baby Jack (in honor of the author of this goal).

How did the relationship between the prince and the athlete develop?

After it became known about the marriage of the British crown prince, many have drawn a parallel with the history of his European "colleague". The fact is that the children of Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock are also of a 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. Indeed, not so often people of royal blood connect their lives with representatives of the people.

I hear the conversation of my princesses:
- There are few princes, and there are not enough of them for all, - Sanya declares.
- Yes, only one remained and that Englishman, - answers Sonya.
- Well, you have to learn 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 age of the heir was already approaching 30 years. And when it became known that the prince had chosen a bride for himself, questions immediately began who she was.

Prince William and Kate's relationship long time did not go beyond friendly

Catherine Elizabeth Middleton is from a family of merchants. 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.

Despite the fact that Prince William and Kate Middleton met already at the beginning of the 2000s, for a long time they remained only friends. The media began talking about them as a couple in 2005. The official announcement of the engagement was published in November 2010, at the same time the announcement of the wedding of the marriage itself took place. The wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William took place on April 29, 2011.

We can't call Kate Middleton Princess Kate, and the title of Duchess of Cambridge isn't her only title. We talk about all the intricacies of the assignment of names and titles in the British royal family using the example of its most famous members.

The royal family of Great Britain agreed to accept commoners and divorcees, but as far as the title system is concerned, the local monarchy remains very archaic. So, despite all the desire of the fans, no one can call the duchess princess of cambridge Katherine, as well as calling Princess Meghan Markle when she marries Prince Harry.

On the other hand, Catherine has no reason to be upset, because along with the title of Duchess of Cambridge, she received several more. We tell more about the complex system of names and titles in the Windsor family in the gallery using the example of Her Majesty's inner circle.

Elizabeth II

For convenience, she is simply called the Queen, Elizabeth II or Her Majesty, but in reality the name and title of the monarch sounds much longer: Her Majesty Elizabeth II, by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and her other kingdoms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Protector faith. But the future monarch was born with a more modest name: Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary of York.

Her Majesty's husband, as we remember, was born prince Greek and Danish, but in order to marry Lilibet, he had to become a British citizen and simply call himself Philip Mountbatten. Before the wedding, King George VI granted him the title of Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich, but over the course of seventy years, Philip's list of titles has grown noticeably and, taking into account knighthoods, includes a dozen additional positions.

The full name of the heir is Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor, but the prince has more than fifteen titles, given that the son of the monarch throughout his life received various honors in almost all countries of the Commonwealth Kingdom. The most commonly used is His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Earl of Chester. Interestingly, in 1948, when Charles was born, in the UK it was impossible to give the title of prince to the daughters of the monarch. Charles had every chance of becoming just a marquis if Elizabeth's pope had not rewritten the law in time.

So, on April 29, 2011, Kate Middleton forever changed from just Kate to Her Royal Highness Catherine Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor, Duchess of Cambridge. However, this is not her only title. On the day of her wedding, the woman received several more, which belong to the lands of Scotland and Northern Ireland. So, if Kate were in Edinburgh, she would be called "the Countess of Strathearn", and in Belfast she would be called Lady Carrickfergus. But if the Queen had not granted all these titles to her grandson, then Katherine would have been called simply - Princess William of Wales.

Actually, Kate would not have received all three of her titles if they had not been granted to Prince William on her wedding day (Miss Middleton received them as a wife and no more). Thus, we should call the fully second in line heir as follows: His Royal Highness William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus. And Will is a real knight. In 2008, he was made a Knight of the Order of the Garter, and in 2012, a Knight of the Order of the Thistle.

Harry (and Meghan)

We used to call him just Harry, but his full name is Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor. The younger brother of the Duke of Cambridge still calls himself Prince Harry of Wales, although this title is nothing more than a dummy to somehow designate the son of the real Prince of Wales - Charles. Most likely, before the wedding with Miss Rachel Meghan Markle, Harry will receive the title of Duke of Sussex from Her Majesty, and his wife, thus, will become a duchess. In Scotland, the couple would probably be styled "The Earl and Countess of Ross".

As in 2013, when Prince George was born, yesterday all the main sights of London were illuminated in blue. The London Eye, Tower Bridge, Golden Jubilee bridges were painted in this color, and a banner with the inscription "It's a boy!" appeared on the BT Tower. Sailors of the Royal Navy lined up in the word BOY ("boy") on the deck of the landing helicopter ship HMS Albion.

On sale in the UK appeared the official souvenir products dedicated to the newborn. And she immediately surpassed the popularity of souvenirs for the upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which will take place on May 19. So, the collection of royal porcelain included a plate for 49 pounds and a mug for 39 pounds with the image of a lion and a unicorn and the inscription Welcome to our new royal baby ("Welcome to our new royal baby"). royal baby"). All items including teddy bear for 125 pounds, were sold out in 24 hours.

Princess Charlotte's blue Little Alice London dress, which she wore to the hospital yesterday to meet her little brother, was also popular. All copies of the dress in all sizes were also sold out yesterday.

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

Till The Royal Family did not announce the name of the future heir to the throne, the journalists were able to discern a hint in the gesture of Kate Middleton. In the UK, bookmakers even accepted bets on this account, and among others, the name Arthur was among the favorites. Kate Middleton waved her hand at the official royal photographer, Arthur Jay Edwards, at the door of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital yesterday during an official photo session with her newborn. Will the boy be called Arthur after all? - immediately suggested the media. However, there is little left to guess. Soon, the Dukes of Cambridge will definitely announce what name for the child they settled on.

He did this after his beloved football team won, after Jack Grealish's decisive goal, the 35-year-old royal heir noted with joy that "he will insist that the baby be named Jack."

It is known that earlier bookmakers singled out such names as Arthur, Albert and James among the favorites, and among the fans of the royal family, many were sure that the baby would be named after his great-grandfather Philip.

Tony Appleton also talked about this four days before the Duchess was born. According to the man, who has publicly announced the birth of three royal babies three times already, the boy will have to be named after Prince Philip. Bookmakers bet on this name 16/1.

Yet the couple surprised many by naming their third child 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 it was immediately known whether the royal heir would wear it. It is interesting that the boy or his parents can choose any surname for him, based on the generic name. But, most likely, he will inherit the family name of his grandmother-queen.
