I often wonder why I just say things and never see it through, I would have put my money where my mouth is, I've been saying that they'll definitely name the royal Baby Diana and my big sis was like no way, see?
Anyways, the name of the Princess of Cambridge has been revealed as "Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
In a loving Tribute to William's Family, the Princess of Cambridge has been named in honour of her Grandfather, Her Grandmother and Her Great Grand Mother!
( I guess I will be a Princess in my next life. I have just 2 names now.)
The names were announced in a statement this afternoon after days of speculation, according to Kesington Palace.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Norfolk tomorrow where the new Princess will meet her great grandmother The Queen for the first time.
Here's a quick back story on the names
PRINCESS CALLED CHARLOTTE: NAMED AFTER PRINCE CHARLES AND PIPPA'S MIDDLE NAME
A
princess called Charlotte — a name that is French in origin — is a nod
to the little's girl grandfather, the Prince of Wales. Charlotte is also
the middle name of Kate's sister Pippa Middleton.
In choosing to call their daughter Charlotte, the Cambridges have picked a traditional name with royal connections.
Queen
Charlotte was the wife of George III, known as the 'mad king', and was a
keen botanist who founded the world-renowned Kew Gardens.
Their
first daughter was called Charlotte and George IV also gave the name to
his only child. It has featured in Kate's family as her sister Pippa
Middleton has it as her middle name.
The
name was particularly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries due to
Queen Charlotte's influence in tandem with that of novelist Charlotte
Bronte. It rose in popularity in the 1980s, particularly in the UK and
Australia.
Surprisingly, popularity of the name Charlotte is expected to fall following the announcement.
Sasha
Miller, International Managing Editor of BabyCentre comments: 'It's a
lovely name but we're expecting to see fewer babies being called
Charlotte in the coming months.
'Parents
don't want to be labelled as having been influenced by others in their
baby name choice, particularly by such a high-profile family. New
parents who had been thinking of naming their baby Charlotte, may well
now be thinking again.'
According
to the Office for National Statistics, Charlotte was the 21st most
popular name for girls in England and Wales in 2013. It has fallen in
popularity over the last decade and was in 4th place in 2000.
The princess's middle name Elizabeth is in tribute to the Queen, the girl's great-grandmother.
The
Queen is held in great respect by her family and William has spoken of
how she has become an even more important part of his life as he has
grown older.
Diana is the name of William's late mother, the Princess of Wales.
I know that I'm lil too late on this post I had the most annoying day in traffic. I had a class by 3pm and so I left home by 2pm on a normal day it'll take me 45mins to 1hour to get to school but today wasn't a normal day. Although the sun was hot like on a normal day . I arrived school by 3:56pm for a class that the duration was 1 hour and when I walked in the lecturer was leaving. Soo??? Moral of this story just because the sun is shining like it's a normal day don't be fooled it's not. #NAS diaries
