But speculation doesn't end with gender. William and Kate, in naming their son George and adding middle names Alexander and Louis , clearly favor traditional monikers as the royal family has for centuries. Their second child will most likely have three or four names, as his father was christened William Arthur Philip Louis while his younger brother Prince Harry is Henry Charles Albert David.
Kate has been suffering from severe morning sickness as she did with her first pregnancy. If William and Kate have a girl born around the Queen's birthday on April 21, they may well name her Elizabeth in tribute to the year-old monarch.
Diana is also a heavily suspected name, in honor of William's beloved mother, the late Princess Diana, while Alexandra — one of the Queen's middle names — was a popular bet during Kate's first pregnancy.
When it comes to boys names, Charles, Philip and Thomas are likely to be good bets. On the day that her pregnancy was announced, Kate was forced to pull out of an engagement at Oxford University and stay home after falling ill from severe morning sickness.
I hope that will be soon. Kate was also asked if she had seen Lili via FaceTime or video call and responded that, no, she had not yet. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their baby girl on June 4 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and announced her birth to the world two days later.
She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we've felt from across the globe," a note from the couple read.
The Cambridges joined other members of the royal family in sharing their well wishes for the Sussexes and their new daughter. A post shared by Duke and Duchess of Cambridge dukeandduchessofcambridge. Harry and Meghan are currently settling into their life as a family of four at home in Montecito, California, and are expected to take 20 weeks of parental leave.
The queen, in fact, had given William a key to Tam-na-Ghar, a cottage at Balmoral, to unwind on weekends, and it became a regular getaway spot for him and Kate, sometimes alone, sometimes with a group that at times included Kate's brother and sister. But when their third year at St. Andrews ended, in , William planned a sailing trip to the Greek islands that did not include Kate—but for which his good pal Guy Pelly had arranged an all-female crew.
Pelly is now one of Prince Louis ' godparents, but back then Kate may have been a touch annoyed at him. Not convinced that William was ever going to commit fully, and with the names of all sorts of female-socialite friends of William's running through her head, Kate went home to her family for the summer.
She spent two weeks in France, where Fergus Boyd had invited a group of college friends to his family's place in Dordogne—and one night, fueled by wine, she admitted how much she missed William. After his solo summer, William seemed to re-commit by October as their fourth year at St.
Andrews began. But during the school year Kate also found out that over the summer William had gone to visit Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe , the sister of one of his polo buddies, and she told him to lose her number. By May, though, with the end of university looming, they were tentatively back together. They graduated on June 23, The couple were anxious thinking about their no longer built-in living arrangement, William planning on joining the military the following year and Kate not yet convinced that he was really in it for the long haul.
I don't want to get married till I'm at least 28, or maybe Of course, it would have been the scandal of the year if Kate had talked to a reporter, so she pressed on, unable to have a public reaction—positive or negative—to her boyfriend's remarks. The couple rang in together at Sandringham, then William took Kate on a private ski holiday to Klosters, minus the photographers who snapped away at the now-obvious couple.
They even kissed on the mountain this time. Kate moved into her own flat in London and got a job as an accessories buyer for British fashion retailer Jigsaw, while William got ready for the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, where he would train to be a helicopter pilot. Prince Harry had started dating Chelsy Davy and was about to graduate from Sandhurst, having decided to go right into military training after Eton.
Both Kate and the monarch wore red coats. The couple seemed to be in the engagement home stretch. Kate started studying what others had done in her place—her place being, as far as she knew, on the precipice of joining the royal family—and fielded tips on how to handle the increased scrutiny. Charles' Clarence House press team now looked after Kate, too, and William's security team was her team whenever they were together.
But at the end of , William canceled on spending New Year's with Kate's family, who had booked a cottage in the Scottish town of Alyth for the occasion. There had been no Christmas at Sandringham, either, though Kate had been invited to lunch—which was quite a big deal, as they weren't married, or even engaged, yet. But Kate was going to be out of town with her parents, thinking William would be joining them a week later. Behind the scenes, William was asking his father and the queen for advice about his future; both advised him not to rush into anything.
Meanwhile, the paparazzi were sorely disappointed if they were hoping to catch William and Kate together. Visits became few and far between once he went to Dorset. And then he was photographed enjoying an evening with friends, including other girls, at Boujis, an exclusive nightclub in London he had frequented with Kate. As in, William was in town, and not spending the evening with his supposedly serious girlfriend.
Another night he was photographed with his arm around one girl and dancing with another at a club closer to his posting. While he obviously was fiercely protective of Kate, William was also staring forever in the face. And the prince blinked. Guessing that four years had been enough of a courtship, the papers were predicting that an engagement was forthcoming.
On March 31, , they went on a double date with pals Hugh and Rose van Cutsem. On April 3, Kate was single again as she left for a trip to Ireland. She was, understandably, devastated—but just as she didn't let William think he could swoop in out of nowhere and make out with her after the student fashion show in , she wasn't going to let him or, by then, all of Britain think she was pining away for the prince.
Kate signed up for a charity rowing challenge with an all-girl crew and started training hard. She was even spotted one night being escorted home from a party by Willem Marx , an old beau from her days at Marlborough who had gone to Oxford while she chose St. Pippa moved in with her in London and they maintained a packed social schedule. Needless to say, Kate was never photographed looking any less than her best.
She ended up on the cover of Hello! William, who despite more raucous nights out in the interim, was starting to regret his decision to break up, and in June he invited Kate to a costume party at his barracks. Incidentally, no matter how unsure he was of what to do as his college graduation loomed, year-old William had correctly guessed his future marrying age.
You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn't realized. I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you're younger. I really valued that time for me as well, although I didn't think it at the time. Added William, "We were both very young.
