In a curious article, today's
The Telegraph reports that: "Royal baby: Duke and Duchess's child to be first Prince or Princess of Cambridge"
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ ... ridge.htmlSorry, but I understood that all children and (male-line) grandchildren of the sovereign were born as: "HRH Prince/Princess NAME of Father's Title". Isn't that why William was "HRH Prince William of Wales" and his cousin is "HRH Princess Eugenie of York"? I do not understand how this is 'news' if it is the status quo. Unless the Queen intends to create the title "P. of Cambrigde' for the tike...
Also, this isn't the first time that a royal baby will be "of Cambridge" - all three of Prince Adolphus' (tenth child and seventh son of George III) kids were born as "of Cambridge" since Adolphus was Duke of Cambridge.
• HRH Prince George of Cambridge (b.1819, so styled until he succeeded his father in 1850)
• HRH Princess Augusta of Cambridge (b.1822, so styled until marriage in 1843)
• HRH Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge (b.1833, so styled until marriage in 1866)
