NAMA PRINCESS of Cambridge akhirnya terungkap ke dunia sebagai Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
Dalam upacara sederhana untuk menghormati keluarga Pangeran William, si bayi mungil diberi nama untuk menghormati kakeknya, neneknya dan nenek buyutnya.
Nama tersebut diumumkan melalui pernyataan resmi Senin sore setelah berbagai spekulasi, Kensington Palace mengatakan: 'The Duke dan Duchess of Cambridge dengan bahagia mengumumkan bahwa putri mereka telah diberi nama Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Bayi ini kemudian akan dipanggil Yang Mulia Putri Charlotte dari Cambridge.'
Hal ini diyakini bahwa Kate dan William, yang pertama kali menunjukkan bayi perempuan mereka kepada dunia pada Sabtu pagi di luar Lindo Wing di Rumah Sakit St Mary di London, akan melakukan perjalanan ke Norfolk besok di mana putri mereka dilaporkan akan bertemu dengan Ratu Elizabeth II, sang nenek buyut untuk pertama kalinya, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
Dalam hitungan menit setelah nama si bayi diumumkan, teman terdekat Diana, Rosa Monckton pun nge-tweeted: 'semangat Diana hidup pada kedua putranya, dan kini namanya hidup pada cucunya #CharlotteElizabethDiana'.
Putri dari Cambridge, yang kini berada di urutan keempat tahta Inggris, lahir pada hari Sabtu, berat 4,5 kg. Kate dan William, yang kembali ke rumah di Kensington Palace kurang dari 12 jam kemudian, menahan diri untuk mengungkapkan nama sampai bayinya dikunjungi oleh kakek sang putri.
Awalnya diyakini bahwa sang cicit akan melakukan perjalanan untuk menemui nenek buyutnya, Ratu Elizabeth II sekarang, menjelang pengumuman namanya, namun diyakini pasangan tersebut akan melakukan perjalanan ke rumah mereka di Anmer Hall besok.
Putri Inggris yang kelak dipanggil Charlotte - nama yang asalnya dari Prancis - tampaknya merujuk pada sang kakek, Pangeran Wales, sementara Elizabeth dan Diana merupakan pertanda yang jelas merujuk pada nenek ayahnya yang kini berusia 89 tahun dan mendiang ibunya, Putri Diana.
Staf kerajaan mengatakan kepada MailOnline bahwa nama keduanya akan 'berbicara sendiri'. Adapun Charlotte, menunjukkan bahwa banyak tulisan yang menyatakan bahwa hal itu merujuk pada feminin dari nama Charles, nama kakek si bayi.
Sumber kerajaan lain mengatakan mereka memahami kedua pasangan itu menyukai nama tersebut - tetapi mengakui itu adalah 'kebahagiaan kebetulan' yang mewakili kebahagiaan kakek dan neneknya dari pihak ayahnya.
Bagi William, penamaan putrinya setelah Charles akan dilihat sebagai ungkapan cintanya pada pangeran.
William adalah pelindung dari ayahnya, membela ayahnya menghadapi kritik yang sering dihadapinya dan kerap berbicara tentang kekaguman yang mendalam terhadap komitmen ayahnya dalam kegiatan amal.
The Prince of Wales berusaha untuk melindungi William dan Pangeran Harry setelah kematian ibu mereka dan mendukung mereka karena bekerja keras untuk menghormati ingatan pada ibunya melalui koneksi amal mereka.
Kedua anaknya, pada gilirannya, menerima dan mendukung ayahnya menikahi Camilla Parker Bowles, kini bergelar Duchess of Cornwall.
Charlotte juga merupakan nama tengah adik Kate Middelton, Pippa. Di Perancis, nama itu berarti 'mungil' dan 'feminin' atau 'orang bebas'.
Dalam sejarah kerajaan, George IV menamai anak tunggalnya Charlotte, tapi dia meninggal saat melahirkan pada usia 21. Istri George III adalah Ratu Charlotte, yang lahir 1744 dan mendirikan Kew Gardens. Dia menggunakannya tapi bukan nama pertama yang diberikan padanya, Sophie.
THE NAME of the Princess of Cambridge has finally been revealed to the world as Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
In a touching tribute to William's beloved family, the little girl has been named in honour of her grandfather, her grandmother and her great-grandmother.
Announcing the name in a statement this afternoon after days of speculation, Kensington Palace said: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. The baby will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.'
It is believed that Kate and William, who first showed their baby daughter to the world on Saturday morning outside the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London, will travel to Norfolk tomorrow where the new princess is reportedly due to meet with The Queen for the first time.
Within minutes of the name being announced, Diana’s closest friend, Rosa Monckton had tweeted: ‘Diana’s spirit lives on in her sons, and now her name lives on in her granddaughter #CharlotteElizabethDiana’.
The Princess of Cambridge, who is now fourth in line to the throne, was born on Saturday, weighing 8lb 3oz. Kate and William, who returned home to Kensington Palace less than 12 hours later, had held off revealing the name until the baby had been visited by the princess's grandparents.
It was initially believed that the Cambridges would travel to see the Queen today, ahead of announcing the name, but it is believed the couple will now travel to their home in Anmer Hall tomorrow.
A princess called Charlotte — a name that is French in origin — will be seen as a nod to her grandfather, the Prince of Wales, while Elizabeth and Diana are an obvious mark of respect to William's 89-year-old grandmother and his late mother respectively.
Royal aides told MailOnline that the baby's second names were self-evident and would 'speak for themselves'. As for Charlotte, they pointed out that much had been written about it being the feminine form of Charles.
Another royal source said they understood the couple simply liked the name – but admitted it was a 'happy coincidence' that both William's father and mother would live on in their grand-daughter.
For William, naming his daughter after Charles will be seen as a clear public demonstration of his love for the prince.
William is protective of his father, defending him against criticism he has often faced and often speaking of his deep admiration for the amount of time the prince commits to his charitable work.
The Prince of Wales strove to protect William and Prince Harry following the death of their mother and backed them as they have worked to honour her memory through their charitable connections.
They, in turn, accepted and supported him when he married Camilla Parker Bowles, now the Duchess of Cornwall.
Charlotte is also the middle name of Kate's sister Pippa Middleton. In French, it means 'petite' and 'feminine' or 'free man'.
In royal history, George IV named his only child Charlotte, but she died in childbirth at 21. George III's wife was Queen Charlotte, who was born 1744 and founded Kew Gardens. She used it instead of her given first name, Sophie.
