Prince William was seen hurrying Kate, the Princess of Wales, to conclude a conversation with Rajwa Al Saif, the now-Princess of Jordan, while attending her wedding last week. The couple made a surprise appearance at Zahran Palace, in Amman, Jordan, on June 1, where they were seen celebrating the royal wedding of the Saudi Arabian architect to Crown Prince Al Hussein. A video of the couple saw them mingling with guests as they reached the front of a queue to greet the royals, with the Princess of Wales being seen being hurried along by her husband, who was animatedly chatting with the new bride. In one moment, he is seen telling her "chop chop" as a line of guests waited behind them.

Unlike those further down the line of succession, heirs do not have as much freedom when it comes to choosing baby names.
Instead, they have to be “mindful of the tradition and heritage they embody” when naming their offspring, she explained. Just as with her first son August, the 33-year-old broke with tradition and posted on Instagram to share the happy news of the family's new arrival. Ernest, who is now 13th in line to the throne, moving Prince Edward down to 14th place, “is named after his great great great grandfather George, his Grandpa George and my Grandpa Ronald”, according to her Instagram post.
The baby's name does act as a subtle nod to tradition as King George V's middle name was Ernest and baby Brooksbank's middle names pay tribute to Jack's late father George Brooksbank and Eugenie's maternal grandfather, Major Ronald Ferguson.
Ms Maclaran believes that had William and Kate chosen this name for Prince Louis, it might have caused some consternation.
