Kensington Palace
has announced the names of William and Catherine's newborn son.
"The Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named
their son George Alexander Louis.
The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge."
The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge."
The Queen would
have been advised of George's names when she visited her new great
grandson at Kensington Palace earlier today.
George is an old
royal family name and should he become monarch one day, the baby
prince would be known as King George VII. The Queen's father was King
George VI (although his name was Albert).
Alexander is a
favourite name of Catherine's.
Louis is one of
Prince William's names - William Arthur Philip Louis. Louis is in
honour of Lord Louis Mountbatten who is an uncle of Prince Philip. He
was a central figure in Prince Charles' life until Mountbatten was
assassinated in August 1979.
