Kate Middleton might not be pleased during Prince George's birthday celebrations due to tradition started by Princess Diana

July is a big month for the Cambridges, as William and Kate's eldest son, Prince George, celebrates his ninth birthday. The heir to the throne will be enjoying his last single digit birthday on July 22, about two and a half weeks from now.

Currently third-in-line to the throne, George was born on July 22, 2013 at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, with his birth sparking much excitement amongst fans of the Royal Family. Prince George Alexander Louis was named after a string of royals, and was introduced to the world on the steps of the Paddington hospital when he was a little over a day old, reports The Mirror.

The Queen's grandfather, King George V, and father, King George VI, were the inspiration for the young prince's Christian name. Meanwhile, Lord Louis Mountbatten and Her Majesty herself, who has the middle name 'Alexandra', the female version of Alexander, are the royal figures who inspired George's middle names.
