What great-grandparent is Mary honoring? Queen Mary was Elizabeth's great-grandmother. This baby's great grandparents are Elizabeth, Philip, Frances, John, Peter, Valerie, Ronald and Dorthy.
Queen Mary was Elizabeth's grandmother, not great-grandmother.
HM's full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; she bears the names of the three Queen Consorts who came before her (although, her mother of course wasn't Queen consort at the time): her mother, Elizabeth, wife of George VI, her grandmother, Mary, wife of George V, and her great-grandmother, Alexandra, wife of Edward VII.
