Queen Intervenes to Give Prince Louis HRH Title
The Queen has intervened to change the official name of Prince Louis, the third child of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
A long-standing rule established by King George V in 1917 would have prevented Prince Louis from having an HRH title.
However, the Queen overruled this and gave him the title of His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.
Prince Louis was born on April 23, 2018, and was named after Prince Charles's mentor, Lord Louis Mountbatten, who died in an IRA bombing in 1979.
His middle name, Charles, is a tribute to his grandad, the Prince of Wales.
Like his siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis does not have an actual surname.

The rule established by King George V in 1917 stated that only those closest to the top of the line of succession would be given titles automatically.
Great-grandchildren were not included in his guidance notes.
Therefore, had the Queen not intervened, Prince Louis could have been known as Master Louis Cambridge or Master Louis Windsor instead.
This decision has caused controversy, as Harry and Meghan Markle's children were not given the same title.
Oprah Winfrey discussed this with Meghan Markle, who said that they were told their child wouldn't receive security because he wasn't going to be a prince.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte recently surprised Queen Elizabeth for her platinum jubilee by making her a handmade card.
The six-year-old drew pictures and even wanted to buy her great-grandmother a pony.
Prince George also wanted to bond with the Queen at a football game, but his parents explained that Her Majesty is already old.
Instead, he drew pictures that the Queen loved.
There have been reports that the Queen has a close relationship with Prince William and Catherine's children.
One tabloid claimed that the Queen surprised Princess Charlotte with a tiara that she would inherit when she's 18 years old.
Another source claimed that the Queen and Princess Charlotte regularly spend time with each other.
The Queen allegedly urged Prince William to give Princess Charlotte a royal title as soon as possible.
Although royal titles can only be inherited after Princess Charlotte becomes an adult, the monarch allegedly wants it to be done right now.
The Queen allegedly wants Princess Charlotte to inherit Princess Anne's royal title when the time comes.
Charlotte has already shown early talent in the saddle, and Princess Anne has offered to give her some riding lessons.
Charlotte even told Anne last year that she's her hero.
The source said that Anne was quietly chuffed and impressed with Charlotte's talent.
The Cambridge kids are clearly adored by their great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and they always send her cards.
Princess Charlotte's sweet surprise for the Queen and Prince George's drawings show how much they love their gangon.
