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.
