Kate Middleton Talks Pressure of Naming Her Three Kids
Of course, the pair went for traditional names with all three of their kids, and each has a history within the royal family.
For starters, Queen Elizabeth’s father was named King George VI, and the Prince and Princess of Wales liked that name prior to having their first child. However, it was reported by The Times in 2020 that Princess Catherine almost chose the name Alexander—but, when she let the family dog Lupo pick from a pile of names written on slips of paper, the pet ultimately chose George.
Meanwhile, Good Housekeeping reported that the couple chose the name Charlotte for their daughter because of its connection to the royal family (Queen Charlotte was the wife of King George III), but also because it’s the middle name of Middleton’s sister, Pippa.
