Royal Names: Full Names of Kings, Queens, Princes, and Princesses

[genevieve!]

(Inspired by violetgray's Royal BNG) I thought it would be interesting to look at all the full names of British royalty (not including deceased people)... here goes...

Queen Elizabeth II- Elizabeth Alexandra Mary
(Prince Philip is just Philip so I didn't include him)
-Charles, Prince of Wales- Charles Philip Arthur George
--Prince William, Duke of Cambridge- William Arthur Philip Louis
--Prince Harry of Wales- Henry Charles Albert David (I've always wondered why he was called Harry and not Henry, I personally like Henry better)
-Prince Andrew, Duke of York- Andrew Albert Christian Edward
--Princess Beatrice of York- Beatrice Elizabeth Mary
--Princess Eugenie of York- Eugenie Victoria Helena
-Edward, Earl of Wessex- Edward Antony Richard Louis
--The Lady Louise Windsor- Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor
--James, Viscount Severn- James Alexander Philip Theo Mountbatten-Windsor
-Anne, Princess Royal- Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise
--Peter Mark Andrew Phillips (has two children, Savannah and Isla)
--Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips

Thanks to Wikipedia!

Very interesting. Harry is a nn for Henry, that's why he is called Harry.

Thanks for posting this, genevieve!! I'm such a royal nut that I've attempted to memorize all their full names... getting there. I love all of them but my favourites are Victoria, Elizabeth, Helena, and Isla from the ladies, Arthur, Edward, William and Alexander from the gentlemen. I also love Camilla and Sophie which were not mentioned. But really, there's hardly a bad name in the bunch.

Oh never saw the Dutch ones before- lovely! Thanks for sharing!

I just Googled it: the full names of Queen Victoria's children

Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise, Princess Royal
Albert Edward, Prince of Wales
Alice Maud Mary
Alfred Ernest Albert
Helena Augusta Victoria
Louise Caroline Alberta
Arthur William Patrick
Leopold George Duncan
Beatrice Mary Victoria

Beautiful names! I think my favourite combo is Victoria's but they're all lovely. The Queen was Alexandrina Victoria and went by her middle name.

P.S. I'm going to start a thread in this forum about a few interesting royal name coincidences. Please check it out!
