Prince Louis Receives HRH Title After Queen’s Intervention
Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, have officially named their third child Prince Louis Arthur Charles.
The decision to bestow the HRH (His Royal Highness) title upon him was not straightforward, however, due to a long-standing rule established by King George V in 1917.
This rule stated that only those closest to the line of succession would automatically receive royal titles.
The choice of the name Louis holds special significance for the family.
It pays tribute to Prince Charles's mentor, Lord Louis Mountbatten, who tragically lost his life in an IRA bombing in 1979.
Both Prince William and Prince George also share Louis as a middle name.
Additionally, Louis' middle name, Charles, is a nod to his grandfather, the Prince of Wales.
Like his older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Louis does not have an official surname.
He is formally known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.
However, if it weren't for the Queen's intervention, he would not have been granted the HRH title.
King George V's guidance notes from 1917 dictated that only the sovereign's children and grandchildren born through the male line would automatically become princes or princesses.
Great-grandchildren were excluded from this provision.
The Queen, however, decided to overturn this rule for Prince George and his siblings, ensuring that they would all receive the HRH title.
This change in protocol has caused controversy, as it was not extended to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children.
Oprah Winfrey discussed this issue with Meghan Markle, who revealed that there were concerns about their son's security and title.
If the Queen had not intervened, Prince Louis could have been referred to as Master Louis Cambridge or Master Louis Windsor instead.
In other royal news, Princess Charlotte recently surprised Queen Elizabeth with a heartfelt gesture to celebrate her platinum jubilee.
The six-year-old created a handmade card for her great-grandmother, showcasing her love and admiration.
The Cambridge children, under the guidance of their parents, often send cards to their family members.
This year, Charlotte went the extra mile by personally drawing pictures for the Queen.
She even expressed a desire to buy her great-grandmother a pony, displaying her passion for horses.
However, Prince William gently reminded her that the Queen already has plenty of horses.
It is evident that the Queen shares a close bond with Prince William and Catherine's children.
Reports have surfaced claiming that she has surprised Princess Charlotte with a tiara that she will inherit when she turns 18.
There have also been rumors of regular interactions between the Queen and Princess Charlotte.
On one occasion, the young princess entertained the Queen during her stay at Kensington Palace while she was still mourning the loss of her husband, Prince Philip.
Furthermore, the Queen allegedly urged Prince William to grant Princess Charlotte a royal title as soon as possible.
Although royal titles can only be inherited once Princess Charlotte reaches adulthood, the Queen desires this to happen sooner rather than later.
She specifically hopes for Princess Charlotte to inherit Princess Anne's royal title when the time comes.
Princess Charlotte herself expressed her admiration for Princess Anne, and the Queen was delighted by the interaction.
Princess Anne even offered to give Charlotte riding lessons, recognizing her talent in the saddle.
The royal family continues to captivate the public with their traditions, personal connections, and the occasional rule-bending.
As Prince Louis grows up, he will undoubtedly play his part in maintaining the rich tapestry of British royalty.
