Princess Anne

The late Queens only daughter Princess Anne was named after both her mother and her paternal grandmother.

Annes middle names are Elizabeth, after the Queen, Alice, after Prince Philip s mother Princess Alice of Battenberg, and Louise, believed to be in reference to Princess Louise, who was the daughter of Queen Victoria.

The name Anne also has long royal ties. In the early 1700s, Queen Anne sat on the throne, and throughout history, there were five queen consorts who bore the name Anne. Several other monarchs, including Edward IV, Charles I and George II, had daughters called Anne.

Zara Tindall

Continuing the tradition, Princess Anne named her only daughter Zara after the late Queen, while also passing down her own name to her child.

Zara Tindalls two middle names are Anne and Elizabeth, making Zara the late Queens first grandchild to bear her name.

Zaras first name is not a traditional moniker, but it is believed to have been suggested by her uncle, King Charles, when she was born. Her name means bright as the dawn.

Lena Tindall

Zara Tindalls second daughter Lena, pronounced Lay-na, is another member of the Royal Family who has the middle name Elizabeth, after her late great-grandmother.

Lena is the only one of the Tindall children who has Elizabeth as a middle name, as her older sister Mia has the middle name Grace.

The name Lena does not have any royal ties, as a spokesperson for Zara and Mike Tindall said at the time of their second daughters birth: "It was just a name they liked.

Princess Lilibet

Princess Lilibet, who is the only daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, was named after her late great-grandmother in a different way to her royal relatives.

Lilibet is derived from Queen Elizabeths private childhood nickname, which originated when she was a toddler and couldn't pronounce her own name properly. At the time, there was much controversy surrounding her name, as a Palace source told the BBC that the Sussexes had not asked the late Queen for permission to use the private nickname.

A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan then disputed the claims, insisting they would not have used the name had the Queen not been supportive, adding that the late monarch was the first family member the duke had called.

The spokesperson said: "The duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement - in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called. During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name."

Lilibets middle name is Diana, in tribute to her grandmother Princess Diana, who she never had the chance to meet.

Sienna Elizabeth and

When Princess Beatrice gave birth to her first daughter Sienna, she decided to pass down her own middle name, Elizabeth, to her child in 2021.

The youngsters first name breaks from tradition, as a friend of Beatrices said at the time of Siennas birth: "They were looking for an Italian name which started with an S for Sarah, to honor [Sarah Ferguson]. And also reflected the golden rust color of both Sarah's hair color and Beatrice's, which the new baby shares."

When Beatrices second daughter Athena was born in 2025, the princess decided to once again hand down the royal name of Elizabeth for her daughters middle name, meaning now Beatrice and her two daughters all share the middle name Elizabeth.
