  • Slide 3 of 11: One of the most enduring historical figures is Queen Victoria, who up until recent years was the longest-serving monarch of all time before being overtaken by Queen Elizabeth II. The matron-like monarch held the throne from 1837 until her death in 1901, but her birth name wasn’t Victoria. She was born Alexandrina Victoria with Alexandrina a tribute to her godfather Tsar Alexander I of Russia and sometimes received the name Drina as a nickname. When she took the throne at the age of 18, she chose her middle name to become her best-known moniker.

  • Slide 5 of 11: Whilst Prince Charles does, in fact, currently use his first name, the rest of his name is so long that he has quite the pick for when he ascends to the throne. Charles - the son of Queen Elizabeth II - is the heir apparent and will become king when she passes or chooses to abdicate. In such a case – like Victoria and George before him – he could choose to change his name and take his pick from real full name, which is Charles Phillip Arthur George Windsor.

    Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall

    Camilla – who uses the royal title of the Duchess of Cornwall – was born as Camilla Rosemary Shand before later becoming Camilla Parker-Bowles. She is the second wife of Charles, Prince of Wales and therefore entitled to use the natural title of Camilla, Princess of Wales. However, Camilla, upon marrying Charles, chose to use the title of Duchess of Cornwall instead, owing to the fact that Charles’ former wife Diana – who died in a car crash in 1997 – is still referred to as the Princess of Wales.

    King Edward VII

    The son of Queen Victoria was born with the name Albert Edward, but when his mother died in 1901, he hastily took the royal title of Edward VII. This was against the wishes of his late mother - who herself had changed her name - but he decided to do it in order to honour his six predecessors who had the name Edward and was also mindful that he did not want to diminish his father – Prince Albert.

    Princess Beatrice

    While Princess Beatrice does in fact use the name she was legally given, things could have been very different had the Queen not took it upon herself to intervene. When Beatrice was born to Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York in 1988, it is believed that the couple wanted to call their daughter Annabel. Queen Elizabeth reportedly forbade this, having decided that name was “too yuppie” and suggested the name Beatrice – the name of Queen Victoria youngest child – which is Latin for “one who brings joy.”

A source told The Times newspaper: "She is knackered."

Royal insiders explained that her private schedule has been full with "a constant flow of lunches and dinners with family and friends, because the Queen does not want to dine alone".

It is also reported that palace aides may "discreetly keep an eye" on The Queen's late night TV viewing habits as she is said to be a big fan of the BBC crime series 'Line of Duty' and also stayed up to watch Emma Raducanu's historic US Open win last month.

Royal historian Hugo Vickers said: "The problem is that the Queen does not want to disappoint people.

"She can say no to people, but by and large she doesn’t. What you’ve got to do is pace her."
