Remember when Prince William and Kate Middleton had just had baby Louis?
Everyone ummed and ahhd about what the latest royal was going to be called, with Prince Albert being a strong contender. But luckily they thwarted that idea because, as we revealed last year, a Prince Albert is actually the name of a penis piercing.
And now, as we anticipate Meghan and Harry’s first child, guesses for the name are rolling in again.
If the Duke and Duchess of Sussex look at a report by Expedia – which has revealed the most popular royal names – they might end up choosing the number one boy moniker – Albert.
But again, we urge them not to.
A Prince Albert is a piercing of the penis, in which a metal ring is pierced through the skin at the tip of the penis. The ring begins almost straight to pierce through the penis, and is then bent with pliers to create a rounded ring shape.
Not very royal, is it?
In the past, 12 Royals have been called Albert, the most famous of which (married to Queen Victoria) might’ve even been the inspiration behind the ballsy piercing.
The theory is that he had the piercing himself to make his penis look more aesthetically pleasing. But sadly we can’t know that for sure.
Meghan and Harry could shun the name altogether if they have a boy, opting for other popular names Edward or Christian (George and Charles, respectively number two and three on the list, are obviously taken by existing members of the family).
For girls, the most popular name is Victoria – and with nine royals already been given the timeless moniker – it might be a sweet nod to Harry’s family history.
Mary, Louise, and Alexandra also top the list with Elizabeth taking fifth place (sorry Queen).
