Louis is one of the middle names of Prince William and of the new prince’s brother, George. It was also the first name of Lord Mountbatten – his great-great-uncle – who was killed by the IRA in 1979. Arthur is also one of the duke’s middle names, and was a middle name of King George VI – the Queen’s father.
