Every time I see the name of Little Prince George, I think of Peggy's brother. What is the special meaning of the name the princess gave the little prince?

Many people know that Louis is his middle name in george alexander louis's official name, and they all think that the little prince's surname is Windsor. After all, it's the Windsor dynasty. But it's not like this! This is a misunderstanding!

The fact is that our little prince has a changeable surname. What a wonderful thing! Even the last name will change! )

At present, the little prince's surname is Cambridge. When his grandfather Charles became king, George George changed his surname to "Wales". Charles, can you really succeed to the throne? Be sure to take care of yourself! ) And when the little prince becomes king, he will be changed to mountbatten Windsor.

In fact, this is because British underage princes generally use their fathers' titles as their surnames. When a member of the royal family is promoted to another title as an adult or after marriage, the surname will change according to the title. After the prince succeeds to the throne, he can officially use his legal surname.

Mountbatten Windsor is the legal surname of the little prince. In other words, only after he ascended the throne will he be officially called Windsor, mountbatten. Since George Junior, Prince of MengMeng, has not been knighted, he will take his father's title as his surname. As the title can be inherited, the little prince's surname will naturally change.

For example, Prince William and Prince Harry have adopted the surname "Wales" since childhood. William has been awarded the title of Duke of Cambridge since he got married, so George's last name is "Cambridge". When his grandfather Charles becomes king, William, now Duke of Cambridge, will inherit the title of Prince of Wales, and George Jr. will change his surname to "Wales".

The origin of the surname "Mountbatten-Windsor"

According to the blood relationship, little George must have the same surname as his father, grandfather and great-grandfather, that is, Prince Philip. But the problem is that Prince Philip himself has a surname that moves around. (Have you finished eating ...)

At present, Prince Philip's surname is mountbatten, but before he married Queen Elizabeth, his surname was not mountbatten. The real name of the prince is "Schleswig Holstein Thornburg Glucksburg", and the German name is "Schleswig Holstein Sundborg Glucksburg" (no wonder it has been renamed for too long! ), the surname is a big noble on the German-Danish border, and there are many European royals in this surname. In fact, the most fundamental significance of Prince Philip's surname change is to announce that he has given up the right to inherit the Greek throne as a nobleman with this surname.

Yes, Prince Philip gave up the chance to be king for the legendary true love Queen Elizabeth! The prince takes his mother's surname mountbatten. But when it comes to mountbatten, this surname was born in 19 14. Before that, it was actually called Battenberg, which had the same meaning, except that berg was a German surname. In order to show that it was completely different from Germany during World War I, it was changed to a more British surname (but it was quite useless, because the British royal family was basically German).

If little prince George has his grandfather's surname, it should be mountbatten. Then why not? This also has to talk about the unstoppable regime change that a female heir will face without a male heir to the throne!

As Elizabeth II's father George VI has no son, the next person to succeed to the throne, whether male or female, must take the surname of their father, Prince Philip's mountbatten, instead of Elizabeth Windsor. In fact, the famous Lord mountbatten once asked the royal family to change the next dynasty to mountbatten after Philip and Elizabeth got married, but it was flatly rejected by the Queen Mother Mary. Queen Mary, her life, was a world war. Her husband died and her son abdicated. She devoted her whole life to protecting the throne, and of course she didn't want to give it to others.

Taking care of her grandmother's feelings, Queen Elizabeth didn't issue an Order of Privy Council until after her grandmother died in 1960, stipulating that her and Philip's descendants should be named "mountbatten Windsor", which is also a way of loyalty and filial piety. Therefore, regardless of Prince Charles, Prince William or George, their legal surnames are all "mountbatten Windsor", and the royal decree of 1960 also stipulates that no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, the next dynasty will not be the Fort gruss dynasty (which sounds so handsome), but will still be the Windsor dynasty (feeling that Prince Philip has been playing soy sauce all his life).

The origin of the little prince's name

In fact, the names of the royal family are rather monotonous, and you can count them with your fingers. There have been eight King Henry and eight King Edward in British history, six King George before Little George, many Charles William and so on.

Why is it called this? Basically, it is to commemorate his grandfather or great-grandfather or his father, so when you commemorate it, it becomes such a few names to change back and forth.

Little George also commemorates Elizabeth's father, George VI.
