Royals Named After Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip

Princess Beatrice welcomed her second child in January 2025 — and the baby’s name appeared to have a sweet nod to Queen Elizabeth II.

Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, announced the birth of their daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi on January 29.

Beatrice and Edoardo decided to give their firstborn daughter the middle name Elizabeth, making her Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, who entered the world on September 18, 2021.

It has become a common practice for royal family members to honor the memory of the late queen or her husband, Prince Philip. (Prince Philip passed away on April 9, 2021, at 99, while the queen departed on September 8, 2022, at 96.)

Scroll down to see every royal with a name that honors the royal couple.

King Charles III

King Charles III is the eldest son of Elizabeth and Philip.

Born Prince Charles Philip Arthur George on November 14, 1948, the king’s middle name seems to honor Philip and his grandfather King George VI.

Princess Anne

The queen and Philip’s second child, Princess Anne, was born Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise on August 15, 1950.

Anne shared a special connection with the late queen and, following her mother’s passing on September 8, 2022, accompanied the queen’s coffin from Balmoral, Scotland, to Edinburgh, and then to London, where the queen was laid to rest.

Zara Tindall

Elizabeth’s daughter, Anne, and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, welcomed their daughter, Zara, on May 15, 1981. The royal’s full name is Zara Anne Elizabeth Philips.

The British royal family just keeps growing — and with each new arrival, Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy continues. The late monarch welcomed eight grandchildren before her death at age 96 in September 2022. While many royal fans know that generation, which includes Prince William and Prince Harry, it’s the queen’s great-grandchildren that still have Us […]

Zara changed her last name to Tindall following her marriage to British rugby player Mike Tindall in 2011.

Prince William

The Prince of Wales is the eldest son of Charles and the late Princess Diana. He was born Prince William Arthur Phillip Louis on June 21, 1982.

Princess Beatrice

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson welcomed their first child, Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary, on August 8, 1988. Later, Beatrice continued the tradition of using Elizabeth as a middle name when her own children were born.

Lady Louise

Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, welcomed their first child, Lady Louise, on November 8, 2003. She was named Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor.

James, Earl of Wessex

Edward and Sophie’s second child, James Alexander Philip Theo Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on December 17, 2007.

James inherited the title Earl of Wessex from his father after Edward was named Duke of Edinburgh by Charles in 2023.

Isla Phillips

Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, is the late queen’s eldest grandchild. He and his former wife Autumn Kelly had a daughter, Isla Elizabeth Philips, on March 29, 2012.

Princess Charlotte

William and Princess Kate Middleton’s second child, Princess Charlotte, was born on May 2, 2015. Her full name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

It’s unclear whether Charlotte’s first name is a reference to her grandfather Charles. Her two middle names appear to honor her great-grandmother Elizabeth and William’s late mother, Diana.

Lena Tindall

Zara and Mike Tindall celebrated the arrival of their second child, Lena Elizabeth Tindall, on June 18, 2018.

August Brooksbank

Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank welcomed their first child, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, on February 9, 2021.

Lucas Tindall

Zara and Mike Tindall had a son, Lucas Philip Tindall, on March 21, 2021.

Speaking on his podcast, “The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby,” a couple of days after the birth, Mike revealed that the baby was born on the bathroom floor of their home.

On January 14, Princess Kate Middleton reached a major milestone with her emotional return to London’s Royal Marsden Hospital, where she was treated for cancer last year. The surprise (and very personal) visit marked her first solo public engagement in a year, signaling that she’s back on the radar as an active royal after completing […]

“Arrived very quickly. Didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor,” he said.

Princess Lilibet

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter, Lilibet, was born on June 6, 2021.

She was named Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

“Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet,” the couple said in a statement at the time. “Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.”

Sienna Mapelli Mozzi

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi welcomed their second child, Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, on January 29, 2025.
