However, being born into a Michael Jackson level of global celebrity through no fault of your own certainly carries some elements of curse as well as blessing.

And his last name is properly Mountbatten-Windsor.

Four names are traditional. I bet two of them are George and Albert.

William, who in the RAF, is called Flt Lt Wales

So, I guess since William is Prince of Wales that makes sense.

If baby George Alexander Louis goes into the military perhaps he will use 'Cambridge' as a last name.

they had 9 fucking months to come up with a damn name. They should have had a boys name and a girls name picked long ago. What in hell does the birth certificate say?

As most parents know - it isn't until you SEE the baby that you really make up your mind on what the name will be.
