Kate ‘wanted completely different name’ for George and had her ‘heart set’ on it
William and Kate welcomed their firstborn child in July 2013 – and future King George very nearly had a different first name, one that his mum had her ‘heart set on’
Prince William and Princess Kate’s oldest son Prince George almost had a completely different name – and it was one that mum Kate ‘had her heart set on’ at the time.
Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born on July 22, 2013, at St Mary’s Hospital in London. He is third in line to the throne after his dad, Prince William and grandfather King Charles.
His monikers are each a tribute to family members; “George” was chosen in honour of his great-great-grandfather, King George VI (the late Queen’s father).
The first of George’s middle names, Alexander, pays tribute to the late Queen, whose full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary. And his third name, Louis, is the same middle name as his dad, whose full name is William Arthur Philip Louis.
