The royal baby’s name is finally revealed: Prince Louis Arthur Charles of Cambridge
April 27, 2018
Good God FINALLY. Four days after giving birth, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have finally released the name of their third child. With both George and Charlotte, they only made the public wait two days. I truly have no idea why they waited so long with this baby, and no, I don’t think it was because they wanted to wait until Charles got a chance to see the baby. William barely makes time for his father and William doesn’t even want his kids to spend time with Charles, so why would William wait for that? As for the name… it’s NOT Albert. Or James. Or Michael. Or Thomas. Or Philip.
Louis wasn’t on many shortlists I saw. I would think William was trying to do something nice for his father by naming this baby Louis: Louis Mountbatten was Charles’ surrogate father/godfather and mentor. When Louis Mountbatten was murdered in an IRA terrorist attack, Charles was devastated. That happened before William was born. But it’s a nice tip of the hat to the man who was so important to William’s father, not to mention Mountbatten’s importance to Prince Philip too. Arthur is… fine for a middle name. The Charles at the end is nice too. Little Prince Louis. Will people call him Louie?
