Though George's arrival and name were quickly announced around the world via the Internet, the young prince's entry into the public realm has been otherwise deeply intertwined with the history of the House of Windsor—the current royal house of the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth. In accordance with tradition, Prince George inherits his title and designations from his father, the current Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus. In addition, the little prince's second and third names, Alexander and Louis, bear important historical connections to royal tradition and beloved ancestors of the present royal family.

• It was Prince George's great-great-great-grandfather, George V, who officially changed the name of the British royal line from the German "Saxe-Coburg" and "Gotha" to the English "Windsor" in 1917. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II reinforced her grandfather's proclamation in 1952 and 1960 when she officially declared that thenceforth she and all of her descendants bearing the title Prince or Princess and the style Royal Highness would also bear the surname "Windsor."
• Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II became Queen of the Commonwealth on June 2, 1952. Her son, Prince Charles, is the current heir to the throne. His son, Prince William, is second in line—making William's son, Prince George, third.
• George's birth marks only the second time in history that Britain has hosted three living heirs to the throne of separate generations. The first instance occurred during the reign of the long-lived Queen Victoria.
• Although being heir to the British royal throne carries with it the weight of years of history, Prince George arrives at a time when the monarchy itself is changing in step with modern society. Many royal-watchers are eagerly waiting to see what kind of approach George's grandfather, Prince Charles, and father, Prince William, will take not only to the throne but also to the rearing of this young heir.
• In her 2013 Christmas address from Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II spoke about her growing family, the happy occasion of her grandson's christening on October 23, 2013, and the hope and happiness for the future that the new child has brought to the Royal Family.
