• Prince William and Kate Middleton are Britain's premiere royal couple
  • They have grown their family to have three children
  • Their children's names come from various sources of royal inspiration

It is not uncommon for young princes and princesses to be named after their famous ancestors. Of course, it was no different with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. We'll tell you why the three children of Duchess Kate and Prince William are named that way.

These royal names were no coincidence

Prince George Alexander Louis is the Cambridges' eldest child. He owes his first name of George to a number of famous family members. In the course of history, six British monarchs were named George. The Queen's father, George VI, was the last king to bear that name.

Also interesting:

Therefore, one can assume that William probably wanted to name his son because of his great-grandfather. Prince George's middle name is Alexander. Although there was no King Alexander in Great Britain, Alexandra is the middle name of Queen Elizabeth II!
