It's no secret that the Royal family is a cut above the rest of us. Like fairy tale characters, they live in a different world. We do not really know what they are like as regular human beings, simply because they are not "regular."
So, when the birth certificate of the new royal baby, Princess Charlotte, was released online Tuesday, it wasn't surprising that it would go viral. Netizens noticed some remarkable things such as how long their names are on the official document, or how Prince William wrote "Prince of the United Kingdom" and "Princess of United Kingdom" for him and his wife under the category "Occupation."
Despite having princess for a job, Kate Middleton is not addressed as the princess but as the Duchess of Cambridge. She has to be a royal by birth to be addressed as Princess Kate, according to Metro UK.
Meanwhile, one other glaring information revealed in Princess Charlotte's birth certificate has some people quite amused. It had Twitter and Facebook users talking and debating. Under "signature of informant," it looked like the father of the baby signed the document as "Willy." Prince William was said to have signed the same thing on Prince George's birth certificate back in August 2013 and netizens reacted the same way as well, according to Inquisitr.
"I love the royals - but after seeing William's signature, I love them even more!" wrote one Facebook commenter after the photo went viral. The birth certificate of Princess Charlotte has been shared and retweeted more than 6,000 times right after it was released, according to Mirror UK.
Metro argues that the prince did not write Willy as his signature because there's a noticeable dot at the end of the name, which signifies "William." The Royals usually do not go by any last names, hence just writing his first name would suffice. It is another facet to why they are different than everyone else.
An overview of the royal family's name has been explained on their official site. It states, "For the most part, members of the Royal Family who are entitled to the style and dignity of HRH Prince or Princess do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is Mountbatten-Windsor."
The birth of Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana on May 2, 2015, was officially registered with the Westminster Register Office. "Princess Charlotte is only three days old yet her birth certificate is already far more impressive than my CV, " remarked a Twitter user.
