Diana, the Princess of Wales, gave birth to her first son on 21 June 1982 at St. Mary's Hospital, London. Together with Prince Charles, she gave her little boy a very big name indeed: William Arthur Philip Louis Mountbatten-Windsor.

Quite a train wreck, that, and the hyphenated last name, Mountbatten-Windsor, often puzzles people.

Why Mountbatten?

Simple answer: William's grandfather, the Queen's husband, is Prince Philip Mountbatten. By a special order in 1960, the Queen decreed that all of her children and grandchildren were to use the name Mountbatten-Windsor.
