With Lilibet “Lili” Diana we are at eleven. There are many great-grandchildren of Elizabeth II, which over the years has seen the royal family multiply under his eyes in an extraordinary way. A genealogical tree, that of the Windsor family, is particularly luxuriant. The Queen, in fact, had four children – Carlo, Anna, Andrea and Edoardo – who have given her eight grandchildren, two each (William e Harry, Peter and Zara, Eugenia and Beatrice, James and Louise), which in turn gave to the sovereign 11 great-grandchildren, all with names that have a meaning and a story to tell.
Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor
Let’s start with the latest arrival, in fact, the second child of Harry and Meghan Markle, which came to light last June 4th. The “rebellious couple” chose a name that represents a double homage: Lilibet is the nickname with which Elizabeth was called in the family as a child. But the name Lilibet has a sentimental meaning for Meghan too, because it was the childhood nickname given to her by her mother Doria. And then there is the second name that honors the princess Diana, Harry’s beloved mother who died in a 1997 car accident in Paris.
Lucas Philip Tindall
Shortly before Lilibet Diana, on March 21st he was born Lucas Philip Tindall, the third son of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall and the fifth grandson of Princess Anne. Lucas, whose meaning is “bringer of light”, does not share the name with any other royal. While the child’s middle name, Philip, is a joint tax to the late grandfather of Zadar, Prince Philip, and to Mike’s father.
August Philip Hawke Brooksbank
The eldest son of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, first grandson of Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York Sarah born on February 9th, he is called August. As Eugenie herself explained, “Named after his great-grandfather”. Filippo, on the other hand, is a tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s beloved husband, Eugenie’s deceased grandfather.
Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor
For their first child, who was born on May 6, 2019, Harry and Maghan have chosen a new name for the royal family: Archie. It means “genuine, bold, courageous”. The second, Harrison, has medieval roots and means “son of Henry”.
Lena Elizabeth Tindall
Born on June 18, 2018, the second daughter of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall, whose grandparents are Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, has as first name Lena, which means “light” in Greek. It is also loosely connected to Princess Helena, Queen Victoria’s fifth daughter. Her middle name, Elizabeth, is clearly a tribute to Queen Elizabeth.
Louis Arthur Charles
Louis, the third child of Prince William and Kate Middleton born on 23 April 2018, he has a name deeply rooted in the history of the royal family. Louis, which is the French version of Ludwig and means “Famous warrior”, is found in the full names of his father William and brother George. It is also the first name of the late Lord Mountbatten, uncle of the late Prince consort Philip. Arthur on the other hand was the middle name of King George VI, father of the queen, and Charles is obviously the name of the baby’s grandfather.
Charlotte Elizabeth Diana
For their second child, Prince William and Kate Middleton have opted for a name full of meaning: Charlotte is the female version of Charles, her grandfather, and the middle name of her aunt Pippa Middleton. And in French it means “free”. The second name, Elizabeth, is a tribute to great-grandmother Elizabeth II and her mother, the Queen Mother. The third name pays homage to Princess Diana.
Mia Grace Tindall
There is no precedent in the royal family for the name of the firstborn of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall, born January 17, 2014. Mia comes from Egyptian word “beloved”. While the Latin origin of the second name, Grace, means “charm”.
George Alexander Louis
George, the eldest son of William and Kate Middleton born on 22 July 2013, it takes its name from the father of its great-grandmother, King George VI. Alexander is instead a reference to the second name of Queen Elizabeth, Alexandra, and in Greek it means “Defender of the people”. Finally, Louis is passed down by his father William (whose fourth name was also Louis), and his great-grandfather’s uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten.
Isla Elizabeth Phillips
In Scottish island it is said Isla. That’s why Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly chose this name for their second child, granddaughter of Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, born on March 29, 2012. There is no precedent for any other Isla in the Windsor family tree. Again, the middle name is an obvious homage to great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
Savannah Anne Phillips
We have thus arrived at the eldest of the eleven great-grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth, Savannah, born December 19, 2010. The first daughter of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly it has a name that recalls the savannah and is unpublished for the royal family. The second on the other hand, the more conventional name is a tribute to the grandmother, Princess Anna.
