(The twelfth will follow later this year, courtesy ofPrincess Beatrice’s recent pregnancy announcement.)
Some things about the new arrival are already public knowledge.
She won’t get the title of princess, since she’s not directly in line to the throne.
It’s likely that her last name will be Mountbatten-Windsor, like big brother Archie.
The one detail that has royal watchers buzzing is the new baby’s name.
But the smart money is on Philippa, according to the British wagering site Ladbrokes (viaPeople).
Not only is it a beautiful name, it’s also meaningful in more ways than one.
According toAfrican American Registry, Philippa was of Moorish descent and the first Black queen in British history.
She persuaded her husband to spare their lives, and her compassion made her a popular figure.
As a biracial woman herself, Meghan might find this an especially appropriate name for her daughter.
