The Queen’s full name was Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, in tribute to her grandmother Queen Mary of Teck and her great-grandmother Alexandra of Denmark, who was Edward VII’s Queen consort. Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 at Balmoral on 8 September 2022.
A royal baby’s name isn’t usually announced until two or three days after the birth. Although in Princess Beatrice’s case, the Duke and Duchess of York did not confirm her name until two weeks after she was born in August 1988.
Historically, the monarch would have had to approve the name of any royal baby and although that is no longer the case, the Queen’s family members used to reveal the baby’s name to her before announcing it publicly.
