In the world of royalty, names hold significant meaning, and for Prince George, that’s no exception.
As it turns out, Princess Kate had her heart set on a different name entirely.
Before the birth of their first child in 2013, the couple kept the baby’s gender under wraps, adding an element of surprise to their journey into parenthood.
When Prince George arrived on July 22, 2013, he was greeted with much fanfare.
Now a lively 10-year-old, he is not the only child in the family; he has two younger siblings who share the royal spotlight.
Rumor has it that Kate had a particular fondness for the name Alexander, a classic choice that has graced many monarchs throughout history.
Interestingly, the decision on what to name their firstborn wasn’t straightforward.
According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, while Kate suspected she was having a boy, they hadn’t finalized the name before George’s arrival.
It seems that William wanted to keep the gender a surprise, which added to the excitement of the occasion.
The naming process itself took a unique turn, as revealed by The Times.
The couple involved their beloved dog, Lupo, in the decision-making.
They wrote down three names—George, Alexander, and Louis—and let Lupo choose among them.
The playful method certainly adds a personal touch to the royal tradition.
In the end, Lupo’s choice led to George being named after the classic moniker, while his middle names, Louis and Alexander, were chosen by the couple themselves.
This blend of traditional and personal choices reflects the family’s values and their affection for their furry friend.
As for George’s siblings, they too received names that carry significant meaning.
