The little prince's name consists of three paragraphs, which are taken from the names of the Queen's father, the Queen and Prince William, but they are just names. So, what's the little prince's surname?

The composition of the little prince's name

Part of the queen's father's name

The little prince was named "George" to pay tribute to George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. Six English kings have used the name "George" in history. Prince Charles' full name also includes "George".

Part of the queen's name

Alexander's English female name is Alexandra, and the queen's full name is elizabeth alexandra mary windsor. The queen of King Edward VII of England is also called "Alexandra".

Part of Prince William's name

"Louis" is part of Prince William's full name. Prince William's full name is william arthur philip louis. The little prince's grandfather Charlie's mentor, the Earl of mountbatten, Admiral of the fleet, England, was also named Louis.

What's the little prince's last name?

The answer is: "mountbatten Windsor"

The surname "Royal Baby" includes Windsor. In addition, the son inherits his father's surname, and he will inherit his father's surname-Prince William, which will be traced back to William's grandfather Prince Philip's legal surname "mountbatten" in Britain.

It is reported that before 19 17, members of the British royal family did not have surnames, only the names of their dynasties or palaces. 19 17, George v renamed his ruling dynasty and royal residence as "Windsor" and took it as the family name. After George V, all his male and unmarried female descendants were named Windsor.

1952, the current Queen Elizabeth II acceded to the throne, and determined "Windsor" as the royal family name. 1960, the Queen announced through the Privy Council that all the direct descendants of the Queen should take "mountbatten Windsor" as their surname, except the married female MP. This is the combination of the surname of the Queen and Prince Philip, and it is also the legal surname of their descendants. In fact, Prince Philip was not called mountbatten before. He was originally a Greek prince. He renounced the inheritance of the Greek royal family and married the Queen, and changed his mother's surname to mountbatten, because his mother was a member of the British royal family.

So Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Henry are all named Windsor, mountbatten. In fact, most members of the royal family who are awarded the title of prince or princess usually don't need a surname, just a title. For example, the little prince will be called "Prince of Cambridge" in the future. But princes and princesses sometimes need surnames. For example, when they get married, they will use the surname "Windsor, mountbatten".

What name did you use to go to school and join the army?

In this way, the little prince's first name and surname became a long list. But he doesn't usually use such a long royal name. So what name will he use when he goes to school, joins the army or even takes a driver's license test? Or "George Cambridge" or "George Wales"

In Britain, underage princes generally take their father's title as their surname. Prince William and Prince Harry have adopted the surname "Wales" since childhood, because their father Charles is "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales". In college, William used the name "William Welsh" in his homework. William used this name until 20 1 1 got married and was named "Duke of Cambridge". Since he was not knighted, Prince Harry's name on the battlefield in Afghanistan is still Colonel Harry Welsh.

Therefore, the media speculated that the little prince's name for going to school in the future should be "George Cambridge". This surname may continue until his grandfather Charles succeeds to the throne. At that time, William, the current Duke of Cambridge, will be added as the Prince of Wales, and the little prince will change his surname to "Wales" like his father, and his name will become "George Wales". However, some experts speculate that the little prince may directly inherit his father William's previous surname "Wales" and directly call it "George Wales".
