Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, smiles as he visits the Admiralty Board and Admiralty House in central London, Nov. 23, 2011.
William could kill two birds with one stone, as it were, if he and Kate decide to go with Philip. Not only is it one of William’s middle names (along with Louis and Arthur) but Prince Philip is his beloved grandfather. The 91-year-old’s recent ill health (he was admitted to hospital during his wife’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in June 2012 and was back in hospital a couple of months later) may in fact influence William and Kate to name their child in his honor — and ensure his name continues for many decades to come.
