The name "Mia" has no royal family significance and, like her mother, the baby girl will not hold a royal title. Mia is 16th in line to the throne and the Queen's fourth great grandchild. (Incidentally, Mia is also the name of the lead character in the popular fictional series, The Princess Diaries, starring Anne Hathaway).
