　　第五位George是维多利亚女王的爷爷，他最初供职于海军，但是因为前继承人Albert因为肺炎去世，所以他就变成了继承人并且娶了Albert的未婚妻。

　　更多关于George的介绍

　　当然Cambridge家族中的第一位名字叫George的王子是第三位国王George的孙子，他没有接受家里安排的婚姻，而是和一位信仰共产主义的演员结婚了，这名演员在嫁给他时已经是2个孩子的母亲，而且还怀着第三个孩子。

　　The name George is synonymous with British kings.

　　It has come to represent the continuity of the monarchy and remained the bookmakers&apos favourite in the name-guessing stakes from the moment Kate&aposs pregnancy was announced.

　　Six King Georges have worn the crown throughout history since the German-born George I, the first Hanoverian king of Great Britain, acceded to the throne in 1714.

　　The first name of the last King George - George VI - was actually Albert and he was known to his family as &aposBertie&apos but he selected George - his fourth name - to use as Sovereign.

　　He was the much-loved father of the present Queen and the new Prince George of Cambridge&aposs great-great grandfather. George VI chose George in honour of his father George V and to create the impression of stability after the scandal caused by the abdication of his brother Edward VIII.

　　George is also the fourth name of the Prince of Wales - the baby&aposs grandfather. Even Edward VIII had George among his seven names.

　　The name means farmer or earth worker. It was the 12th most popular name for boys born in England and Wales in 2011.

　　St George, a fourth-century Christian martyr, is the patron Saint of England and represents honour, bravery and gallantry. The legend of George slaying a dragon and rescuing an innocent maiden is medieval.

　　There has only been one other Prince of Cambridge and he was also called George.

　　The first Prince George of Cambridge was a grandson of George III and the only son of Prince Adolphus Frederick, the 1st Duke of Cambridge.

　　Prince George of Cambridge was born in 1819 and rused to have an arranged marriage. He wed a commoner for love after falling for the actress Sarah Louisa Fairbrother, who was said to be a classic beauty and a gracul dancer.

　　They married in 1847 when she was already the mother of two of his children and pregnant with his third.But the Duke did not seek the sovereign&aposs approval and the marriage was never recognised, hence his children were not eligible to inherit royal titles.

　　Miss Fairbrother, who generated much scandal including having a portrait painted in which she showed off her bare legs, was ostracised by the royal family and never given a title.

　　Instead, she became known by the nickname Mrs FitzGeorge and this surname was taken by George&aposs offspring.

　　Despite his marriage, George had a wandering eye and soon after he wed he took up with mistress Louisa Beauclerk, who remained his lover for more than 30 years.

　　He went on to become the 2nd Duke of Cambridge after his father&aposs death.

　　The Duke was in the Army and served in the Crimean War. He was promoted to Commander-in-Chi in 1887 and an equestrian statue of him stands in the middle of London&aposs Whitehall.

　　He was said to have been a disciplinarian, who believed Army promotions should be based on social connections rather than ability. He died in 1904.

　　His father, the 1st Duke of Cambridge - who lived from 1774 to 1850 - was never a Prince of Cambridge, but was given the title the Duke of Cambridge by his father George III in 1801 when he was 27.

　　Alexander

　　This is popular in Scotland, where Alexander III was regarded as one of the country&aposs greatest rulers.

　　In April this year, Willem-Alexander was sworn in as King of the Netherlands after the abdication of his mother, Queen Beatrix.

　　这个名字在苏格兰很有名，人们认为亚历山大三世是英国最伟大的国王之一。今年四月，荷兰女王比阿特丽斯退位后，威廉姆-亚历山大成为荷兰新国王。

　　Louis

　　This name has deep significance in the Windsor family in honour of the Prince of Wales&aposs favourite uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was killed by the IRA in 1979.

　　Louis is the last of William’s three middle names.

　　这个名字对于温莎家族有着深层意义。它是为了纪念威尔士亲王最爱戴的叔父——路易斯-蒙巴顿公爵。1979年蒙巴顿公爵遭爱尔兰共和军暗杀身亡。威廉王子有三个中间名字，最后一个也是路易斯。
