What’s in a royal baby name?

Diana recalls her grandmother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

Nicknames have always been popular in the Royal Family, in part because so many royal children have had the same name.

Harry and Meghan’s daughter is the Queen’s 11th great-grandchild, and the third born in the past few months.

But further down the line, things change, with great-grandchildren named Savannah, Isla and Lucas appearing on the family tree.

For Lilibet Diana, the announcement of her name two days after her birth sparked considerable reaction on social media.

“At the time, this was a question that others were asking,” Prescott said.

Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, as well as Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, were on hand in Cornwall as the Queen hosted a reception for the leaders.

“This reflects how the Queen, and the broader Royal Family, fulfil a different role when it comes to foreign policy,” said Prescott.

A divorce settlement has been finalized for the Queen’s eldest grandson, Peter Philips, and his estranged wife, Canadian-born Autumn Kelly.
