Princess Eugenie announced her pregnancy this week<\/a>, with a third child to be born in the summer – but do you think she should give them a traditional royal name? The youngest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a> and Sarah Ferguson<\/a> followed the tradition established by her mother of naming her first two children after members of Queen Victoria<\/a>‘s family, but it remains to be seen whether she will continue the trend. Sarah’s well-documented fascination with the 19th-century monarch saw her name Eugenie and Beatrice after the Queen’s daughters with Prince Albert, also later writing a non-fiction book about the iconic Queen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Eugenie followed in her footsteps by naming her sons August, one of Prince Albert<\/a>‘s names, and Ernest, after Victoria’s brother-in-law. Princess Beatrice<\/a> broke the tradition by naming her daughter Sienna in 2021, but time will tell whether her younger sister also chooses a more modern name later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n So what do you think?
