Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge

Born 2 May 2015. British princess and a member of the Royal Family. Princess Charlotte was born on a Saturday at 8:34 am in London in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital. She was born weighing 3.7 kg. All three names of the princess have connections to her parents. Whereas the names Elizabeth and Diana have a clear linkage to Queen Elizabeth II, and Diana, the Princess of Wales, the name Charlotte has a connection to both sides of the parents: it is a middle name of Kate Middleton's sister Pippa and a name Prince William's cousin Charlotte Spencer. Besides, Charlotte is the female version of her paternal grandfather's name.
