The British "Mirror" reported on August 11 that since Queen Elizabeth II, whenever the royal family welcomes a newborn royal baby, the full name of the baby generally appears in the name of the family history member to show respect and remembrance, and it is also a symbol of the royal family lineage, and the full name is usually very long.
For example, the full name of Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate, is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, a long name that contains the names of great-grandmother (Elizabeth) and grandmother (Diana), while Mountbatten is the surname of great-grandfather Prince Philip and Windsor is the surname of the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926 as the daughter of Queen Elizabeth I and King George VI. Her full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor.
"Elizabeth" inherits her mother's name. The middle name "Alexandra" commemorates her great-grandmother Queen Alexandra (1844–1925). "Mary" expressed respect for her grandmother, Queen Mary (1867-1953), the elegant woman pictured above.
If compared with the title of queen, her full name is already very short. The full official title of the Queen is "To God Hunn, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and other territories and dependencies, Head of the Commonwealth, Protector of the Anglican Faith". This is actually not the complete version, and more complicated than this is to add a series of titles such and such as the duke, the duchess of so-and-so, the lord of the knights of the various states, and so on.
This is a symbol of the queen's noble status, and also reflects the historical accumulation of the British monarch, after all, the British monarch has a history of nearly a thousand years. Among the queen's titles, the title of "Duke" is very special, and this kind of title is regardless of gender for British monarchs.
The title Duke of Lancaster does not use the word "Duchess", and the first female monarch to use this title was Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria considered the Duchess to sound like the Duke's wife and not the true owner of the Royal Duchy, so from then on the title was no longer gender-selective. In addition, unlike most dukes in the United Kingdom, whose titles are extinct today, the Duchy of Lancaster still exists, with nearly 19,000 hectares of agricultural, commercial and real estate assets in England and Wales. As of the end of March 2022, the Duchy of Lancaster had a net worth of £628 million, all of which belonged to the Queen.
Although the number of titles of queen is dizzying, the United Kingdom and its states have different succinct titles. In Britain, nature is called Queen Elizabeth II or Her Royal Highness. The Salish, Canada's Indigenous people, call the Queen "mother of nations." Many in Fiji refer to the Queen as the "supreme chief". New Zealand's Aboriginal Maori call her "Egret", and the Egret is known as a sacred bird by the Maori.
