So, who in the family line is Alexander?
Queen Elizabeth Alexandra.
Good question. There was a Prince Alexander John of Wales who died as an infant in 1871. There is a Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, who is a few years younger than the Queen. With the independence movement in Scotland, ‘Alexander’ is a good choice. I note that they claim that ‘George’ was not chosen because of King George VI. but just because they liked the name.
While they live a life of extreme luxury, they are also very much in the public spotlight and everything they do can have ramifications, even the naming of their children. There are pros and cons with every station in life.
I had always thought that the name Alexander was of Russian origin and royalty. At least that is what my mother told me as to my middle name.
Kate is reported to have liked ir. And it's a way of getting a Scot king's name that's not James in.
