00:00 Although the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex don't see eye to eye these days,
00:05 their daughters share a link to something important for the brothers.
00:09 Prince William's daughter was born in May 2015 and her name was revealed to be Charlotte
00:14 Elizabeth Diana, in honor of Queen Elizabeth II and Lady Diana.
00:19 Prince Harry's daughter, on the other hand, was born on June 2021 and her name is Lilibet
00:24 Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
00:27 Prince Harry is the only person who named his daughter in honor of the Queen but using
00:31 a private and personal nickname.
00:34 The brothers remember their mother by naming their daughters Diana, but the rest of the
00:38 family remembers the Queen by using her name as well.
00:43 Queen Elizabeth herself named her daughter an Elizabeth Alice Louise, and almost every
00:47 other daughter that came after has shared the name Elizabeth.
00:51 Anne's daughter is called Zara and Elizabeth Tyndall.
00:55 His son, Peter Phillips, named his daughter Isla Elizabeth.
01:00 Prince Andrew's first daughter is Beatrice Elizabeth Mary and her daughter is Sienna
01:05 Elizabeth.
01:07 And Prince Edward named his daughter Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary.
01:11 For the British royal family it is not about being original or creative with a child's
01:16 first, second, or third name, but to honor an important member of the family.
01:21 Traditionally, royals must choose a name of a royal that came before them and is meaningful
01:26 to them in some way.
01:29 Most use a name that has not been used recently for the first name and then choose a significant
01:33 one for the second one, such as Queen Elizabeth.
