The "infixes", while treated gramatically like nobiliary particles, actually act as surnames, as to differentiate which child comes from which Imperial Consort. Basically, because Britannian Emperors are expected to be polygamous and have a plenty of heirs, having them inherit their father's surname would be too confusing, not to mention bland. Instead, after marrying to the Emperor, an Imperial Consort's new surname becomes  Britannia (possibly derived from their maiden name?), and their children are named as such as well.
