That was the top bet.....

by Juliette Hardy Wed 24 Jul 2013, 18:55

Great choice!

I thought so too yesterday only because of Queen Elizabeth's father, George VI.
And it's Charles' 4th name.

So, only 3 Christian names this time.
Another change in tradition?

Thanks for the info!

Watch the trend of babies named George that ensues!

Great tradition, from Saint George to George Washington to.....George Clooney.

Entymology:
From the Greek name Γεωργιος (Georgios) which was derived from the Greek word γεωργος (georgos) meaning "farmer, earthworker", itself derived from the elements γη (ge) "earth" and εργον (ergon) "work". Saint George was a 3rd-century Roman soldier from Palestine who was martyred during the persecutions of emperor Diocletian. Later legends describe his defeat of a dragon, with which he was often depicted in medieval art.

So they have no common family last name? Like George Clooney is son of Nick Clooney, etc.

by silly girl Wed 24 Jul 2013, 19:54

I thought William and Harry use Wales as a last name while working in the service?

by What Would He Say Wed 24 Jul 2013, 19:57

I think you are right.....

by What Would He Say Wed 24 Jul 2013, 19:58

Too tired for this....and emotional....x

by Joanna Wed 24 Jul 2013, 20:24

I think Wales was used initially for security reasons

by Nicky80 Wed 24 Jul 2013, 20:29

Big name. I like it. So is he going to be called George? Smile

by playfuldeb Wed 24 Jul 2013, 20:51

I bet Clooney is getting a kick out of this! I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up at some award show wearing a crown!

No he wasn't. He laughed his ass off. I watched it.

by LornaDoone Thu 25 Jul 2013, 02:41

Ok and now we can conjecture if they'll call the little guy George, Georgy, Alex, Al, Louee, Skippy... brahaha!

by Merlin Thu 25 Jul 2013, 07:16

I'd have liked a King Arthur! We've had loads of Georges/Charles/Williams.

Nah

Now lets not start that rumour HA

by Natascha Thu 25 Jul 2013, 11:03

Who knows? Kate might be a fan of our George,just like us.....

by it's me Thu 25 Jul 2013, 12:01

Great big eyes G Very Happy

by Carolina Gal Thu 25 Jul 2013, 12:22

I like the name that the royal couple chose, however, I was thinking that George Michael Spencer would have been nice. George for the history, Michael for Kate's dad, and Spencer- the maiden name of Diana.

by Lighterside Thu 25 Jul 2013, 14:14

I did wonder why they didn't include some part of the name in deference to Prince William's mother Diana...that would have been the only change I think needed. She should be reflected in the name of her grandson...that would have been perfect.

by Merlin Thu 25 Jul 2013, 19:12

They'll probably do that for the next one....they like to have a spare!

by Joanna Thu 25 Jul 2013, 19:23

...And Wills wants a girl !

I don't know....but I think George C would definitely have liked Diana....very kind and sweet and basically honest, as far as she could be...I think he would have appreciated the unpleasantness of her reality....he would be aware of the dilemma she found herself in, .....did they ever meet? I hope so...x

by it's me Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:03

He surely stood up against paps after her death

by What Would He Say Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:15

Really?

Did they ever meet ?

by it's me Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:19

Dunno

by What Would He Say Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:23

I'll google...

by What Would He Say Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:32

You don't need to read what I found...but the site I found said they never met (ppl on this site will probably be better informed) but that he gave a press conference, about media intrusion and paparazzi in general...suppose he was in the eye of it himself, or affecting his family and friends..... nice thing to do...x

by it's me Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:40

He was really brave
I'm sure really worried for ppl in such situation
And I'm more than sure worried about his own beloved ones I love you

by Juliette Hardy Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:44

I get the impression if she was still alive, she'd adore him as one of her favorite actors (his style, appearance, films, personality). And maybe she had seen "One Fine Day" or ER & really enjoyed them. She was two months younger than George too, so same age group.

Princess Diana was very involved & endearing to popular culture, hence her enormous influence.
Showed weakness, emotion, sincerity...

by LornaDoone Thu 25 Jul 2013, 21:50

It was pretty infamous. The speech he gave was directed at the paps and then at the next event he went to they all pulled their cameras up as he walked by I guess in protest of his comments.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Diana,_Princess_of_Wales

Actor George Clooney publicly lambasted several tabloids and paparazzi agencies following Diana's death. A few of the tabloids boycotted Clooney following the outburst, stating that he "owed a fair portion of his celebrity" to the tabloids and photo agencies in question.

And here's another article about it.

Hollywood celebrities were cropping up so often on TV talk shows last week that you would have thought it was Oscar time. They were grieved, of course, over the tragic death of Princess Diana. But they were also eager to gripe about the paparazzi, whose aggressive tactics may have played a role in her death. Elizabeth Taylor called them murderers. Tom Cruise recounted how he and his wife Nicole Kidman had been chased by photographers through the very same Paris tunnel. Everyone from George Clooney to Whoopi Goldberg chimed in; boycotts were advocated; legislation proposed. Some stars reportedly even want to investigate the private lives of tabloid editors, to give them a taste of their own medicine. More at the link below

His own loved ones, (and I presume you mean his immediate family) are low-key, kind & modest people.
Ada had no qualms about being interviewed last October to speak up in defense of her brother & provide a glimpse of her lifestyle. She left an indelible positive impression.
His parents are humble & unassuming people, despite having a such a high profile son.
They all seem very modest.
Luckily no one bothers them. Perhaps they're vigilante enough to avoid those situations.

Fame...not everything it's cracked up to be.....x

by it's me Thu 25 Jul 2013, 22:09

I was not really referring to his strict family members
