When the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed their firstborn in 2013, it wasn't just the world that awaited his arrival with bated breath – the expectant parents themselves didn't know if it would be a prince or princess!
While Prince William reportedly favoured the surprise, royal expert Katie Nicholl reveals that the Princess may have had a different name in mind.
According to Nicholl, despite the traditional moniker eventually chosen – Prince George – Kate "had her heart set" on the name Alexander. This tidbit offers a glimpse into the private discussions and personal preferences that shape monumental decisions within the royal family.
Though ultimately, they opted for the name steeped in regal history, the revelation adds a layer of intrigue to the story of Prince George's arrival. It fuels speculation and underscores the personal touch that's often present even in the most public moments of royal life.
