The British royal family expands with the arrival of a royal baby, arousing the joy of Charles III. The child’s first name, French-inspired, and images have been revealed.
Being British royalty doesn’t always dictate the norm when it comes to first names. Tatiana Mountbatten, relative of King Charles III, is the perfect illustration. At 33, this descendant of the nobility, from the marriage of Sarah Walker Mountbatten and George Mountbatten, the fourth Marquess of Milford-Haven, and distinguished horsewoman, has embraced her new role as mother. She and her husband, British businessman Alexander Dru, welcomed their first daughter, marking a turning point in the family tradition.
Refusing the usual post-delivery presentation protocol to the media, Tatiana kept this private moment to herself. It was only a month later, on October 20, that she chose to announce the birth of Elodie, born September 20, via Instagram. Her touching message accompanied intimate images, offering a glimpse into her life as a new mother. Surprised and delighted, her subscribers warmly welcomed the news of the arrival of the little one with a distinctly French first name, a refreshing divergence from royal conventions.

A father who is self-effacing, yet omnipresent
If Tatiana occupies the center of the media scene, Alexander is conspicuous by his absence in the photos. However, Alexander Dru’s absence from his wife’s Instagram images does not mean a lack of support or presence in their child’s life. Quite the contrary.
Tatiana previously shared moments from their life in Italy, indicating that despite her husband’s visual absence, he was constantly by their side. Alexander, who has a notorious aversion to social media, chooses to stay out of the spotlight, preferring an existence away from the public glare. This deliberate choice reassures us that, although invisible, the father is a figure firmly anchored in this new family dynamic. The family, although in the spotlight, values and maintains their privacy, thus reaffirming the importance of private moments away from the spectacle often associated with royalty.
The choice of Tatiana Mountbatten and Alexander Dru to name their daughter Elodie and to preserve their private life bears witness to a new and refreshing era in the annals of the British royal family. They redefine, in their own way, contemporary expectations of life in the spotlight, offering a more human and accessible perspective of nobility.
