I'm almost certain that the answer is buried somewhere in the inner core of the Royal Forums, but a quick trawl doesn't seem to help:
Would somone please tell me, why Prince Harry's official name is Prince Henry or- vice versa - why Harry is used in stead of his official name??. I know that it was decided by his parents in 1984, but IMO that doesn't explain why. I know that the name 'Henry' has precedence in the BRF and that Harry hasn't, but that doesn't explain it either, IMO.
Did 'someone' object to Harry as a 'proper' name, if you know what I mean ? Or put differently: As the first 'spare' would Prince Harry be denied a name unknown to the royal tradition?
Thanks!
