While many members of the British royal family are named in honor of Queen Elizabeth, the late monarch isn't the only royal whose legacy lives on via a moniker.
Princess Charlotte and Princess Lilibet, for example, both have the middle name Diana in homage to their late grandmother, Princess Diana, who died in August 1997 at the age of 36.
The most recent addition to the royal family, meanwhile, is Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's daughter Adelaide, whose first middle name, Elizabeth, is a nod to Queen Elizabeth. The couple waited two weeks after Adelaide's birth to reveal her name.
"We are so happy to share Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank," Eugenie wrote on Instagram on Aug. 17. "Named after three people we love and admire past and present, including her Great-Grandmother who we hold close in our hearts."
Here are 10 royal children whose parents named them after other members of the British royal family.
