Just north of Duma Key
the decision of what to call their second child was William and Kate's alone, and the name was chosen simply because they liked it.

Her middle names were chosen in honour of Charlotte's great-grandmother the Queen, and her late grandmother Princess Diana.

So after keeping a joyous nation waiting, why did they settle on Charlotte?

It is thought William and Kate may have chosen Charlotte - the feminine version of Charles - in honour of the Duke's father, the Prince of Wales.
Day to day Charlotte will be known as Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

But if she does need a surname (most likely for marriage) she will be styled Mountbatten-Windsor.
