But fans of 'The Princess Bride' might recognize the name from a different source. The character Inigo Montoya, famous for his revenge-driven line, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die," was a standout in the beloved 1987 film adaptation of William Goldman's 1973 novel.
First glimpses and doggy welcomes
Middleton shared the first images of his baby boy on Instagram, showing the newborn surrounded by the family's six dogs. "The dogs have been fantastic at welcoming their little brother into the pack," the new dad gushed.
James and Alizee were spotted pushing a stroller in London's Notting Hill neighborhood before the official announcement, sparking rumors of the baby's arrival.
Middleton credits his late dog Ella for introducing him to his wife, Alizee. In a 2019 piece for The Telegraph, he shared that his cocker spaniel “made a beeline” for Alizee at an event, sparking their love story.
A growing royal family
The new arrival makes Princess Kate an aunt for the sixth time! This adds to her growing list of nieces and nephews, including her sister Pippa and James Matthews’ three children, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's two children.
