Alright folks, let's dive into a topic that’s been buzzing around the royal fan community since the arrival of Prince Louis. When Kate Middleton and Prince William officially announced their newborn baby boy's name back in late April, it sent waves of excitement through the world. But as Prince Louis has stepped more into the spotlight following his christening, one question has been on everyone’s mind: how exactly do you pronounce his name?
Now, if you're anything like me, you might have been scratching your head at this one. Lucky for us, UK reporters and royal experts have been quick to step in and clarify the pronunciation of this regal name. "For my American friends, Louis is pronounced Lew-ee, not Lewis – silent s!" one expert tweeted. Another added, "Pronounced Lou-ey, not Lewis…" And for those who like a touch of humor with their facts, one quip suggested, "We should probably be clear for any American royal fans it’s ‘Lou-ee’ not ‘Lew-is.’"
The Naming of the Royal Baby
Now, let’s rewind a bit. The royal couple made the big announcement about their third child's name through a statement from Kensington Palace almost three months ago. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son Louis Arthur Charles,” the official note revealed. “The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.”

Surprisingly, not many were betting on Louis as the chosen name, but it turns out the moniker has a rich history within the royal family. While they didn’t name him after William’s grandfather, Prince Philip, it's worth noting that Prince Philip was actually named Prince Louis Alexander of Battenberg. To add to the intrigue, Louis is one of William’s middle names and also belonged to Prince Charles’ late uncle, Earl Louis Mountbatten. So, this name is steeped in family tradition and carries a lot of weight.
