It was assumed Prince William and Kate Middleton would choose to name their daughter after either Queen Elizabeth or Princess Diana - however, an expert has revealed the key reason why they didn't.
Prince William and Kate Middleton consciously chose not to name their daughter Charlotte after the late Queen Elizabeth II or Princess Diana for a significant reason, it has been reported.
Kay, speaking in the Channel 5 documentary 'Secrets of the Royal Palaces', opined that this was a "wise" move, arguing that it would have otherwise placed young Charlotte in an ongoing position of scrutiny. Royal editor Emily Andrews, from the Mail on Sunday, shared insights into how Diana's legacy continues to resonate with William: "William has spoken about the loss of his mother and the impact it had. He thinks about her pretty much every day and he wants to keep his mother's memory alive."
However, a spokesperson for the Sussexes, who have settled in the Montecito area of Los Angeles after stepping down as senior royals, insisted that they would not have picked the name "had she not been supportive".
