Even though I'm not a follower of the British royals, it's hard not to notice the hubbub about the soon-to-arrive royal baby. But, even with all that excitement, the Queen is still ground zero for the British monarchy, no matter how few degrees of kinship the royal baby may be to her. Even still, the royal baby does come from a long and storied line. Just look at these names and titles:
- Queen Victoria
- Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn
- Sophia Dorothea of Hanover
- Ernest Augustus, Elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg
- King George III
- Princess Alice of the United Kingdom
- Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse
- King George I
- The Royal Baby
- Prince William, Duke of Cambridge
- King George V
- Frederick, Prince of Wales
- Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale
- Queen Elizabeth II
Not that there will be any pressure on the baby, or anything.
