Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor welcomed their second child on January 16 and have named their daughter Isabella Alexandra May. Isabella is a little sister for Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina, aged 2; Maud’s birth was featured on the blog.

Although the Windsors live in the United States, they returned to Britain for Isabella’s birth, and she was born at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in London, weighing 6.75 lb (3 kg). The baby is 48th in line to the throne.

Lord Frederick is the only son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and is first-cousin once removed to Queen Elizabeth II. Lady Frederick Windsor is an English actress known professionally as Sophie Winkleman.

Maud has the queen’s name, Elizabeth, as one of her middle names, while Isabella has one of the queen’s middle names, Alexandra, as one of her middle names. Isabella is also another form of the name Elizabeth.

Royal Baby News: Lord and Lady Nicholas Windsor

Lord and Lady Nicholas Windsor welcomed their third child on May 27 and named their son Louis Arthur Nicholas Felix. Louis’ older brothers are Albert Louis Philip Edward, aged nearly seven, and Leopold Ernest Augustus Guelph, aged nearly five. Louis is 37th in line to the throne, and is to be known as Mr Louis Windsor.

Lord Nicholas is the youngest son of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and a great-grandson of King George V. Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, is a cousin of Queen Elizabeth, so Lord Nicholas is a first cousin once removed of the queen. In 2001, Lord Nicholas was received into the Roman Catholic Church, following the lead of his mother Katharine, who converted in 1994. This makes him the first male member of the blood Royal to convert to Catholicism since King Charles II. Because of his conversion, he forfeited the right of succession to the British throne, but is still in the line of succession to the Dukedom of Kent.

Lady Nicholas Windsor was born Paola Doimi de Lupis de Frankopan; her father is a member of the Croatian and Italian nobility, while her mother is a distinguished Professor Emeritus at Stockholm University. Under her maiden name Paola Frankopan, she writes for The Tatler, where she is a contributing editor. She and Lord Nicholas were married on September 4 2006 in Vatican City, making Lord Nicholas the first member of the Royal Family to marry at the Vatican, and the first to marry in a Catholic ceremony since the Reformation. By having Louis shortly before her 45th birthday, Lady Nicholas became the oldest royal to give birth.

Louis is most likely in honour of Lady Nicholas’ father, Louis, Prince de Frankopan, Count Doimi de Lupis, a barrister and businessman. The children’s maternal grandfather was earlier honoured by having Louis as Albert’s middle name. Louis also has a Catholic saint’s name, like his brothers Albert and Leopold.

Arthur has previously been used in the royal family; most recently by Prince Arthur of Connaught, the son of Prince Arthur, son of Queen Victoria. Perhaps coincidentally, Arthington is a name traditionally used in the family of Lord Nicholas’ mother Katharine, whose maiden name was Worseley.

Nicholas is after the baby’s father. It is one of the middle names of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, the father of Lord Nicholas, and Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark was Prince Edward’s grandfather, the father of Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. Lady Nicholas’ brother is also named Nicholas, so it’s a name from both sides of the family.

Felix may be in honour of Lord Nicholas’ great-uncle, Sir Felix Brunner, 3rd Baronet, the uncle of his mother Katharine (and her godfather) The meaning of “lucky” seems apt, because the Windsors were not expecting to have any more children, and felt very fortunate to be blessed with a child; indeed Louis has been hailed as a “miracle baby”.

Peter Phillips, the only son of Princess Anne, and his wife Autumn, welcomed their second child on March 29. The name has been released, and their daughter is named Isla Elizabeth. Isla Phillips was born at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, weighing 3.4 kg (7 pounds 4 ounces). It has been speculated that Isla’s middle name is after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, this year holding her Diamond Jubilee. Peter and Autumn already have a daughter named Savannah, born in 2010.

The Queen’s press secretary said: “The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, Captain Mark Phillips and Autumn’s family have been informed and are delighted with the news.

“Isla Elizabeth is the second child for Peter and Autumn, the second grandchild for the Princess Royal and the second great-grandchild for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

“She will be 13th in line to the throne.”
