The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate have revealed their new born son's name.
Kensington Palace said in a short statement yesterdays evening:
'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 Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced their newborn son is
to be called George Alexander Louis. He will be known as His Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
The announcement at 6.20pm
showed the couple have chosen to stick with very traditional royal
names. There have already been six British monarchs called George – the
last being the Queen's father, George VI. Louis is also a favourite and
was the name of Lord Mountbatten, the uncle of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The
announcement comes a day after the duchess left hospital and two days
after she gave birth, and hours after the Queen met her great-grandson
for the first time.
George was the most popular name with betting
firms William Hill, Coral and Paddy Power. James was also a favourite
with punters, with Alexander, Henry, Louis, Richard and Arthur the next
most popular choices.
