e Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided on a name for their newborn princess: Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana,” the royal family said in a statement Monday. “The baby will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.”
The princess is the second child of Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, is a nod to the newborn’s grandfather, Prince Charles. The middle names honour Queen Elizabeth II, the infant’s great-grandmother, and the late Princess Diana, William’s mother.
The princess is fourth in line to the throne after Charles, William and her older brother Prince George.Advertisement
William and Kate introduced the baby princess to the world Saturday evening, just 12 hours after Kate checked into a London hospital to give birth. The baby weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces (3.7 kilograms).
Bookmakers had taken huge amounts of bets on the name, with Alice, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Victoria, Olivia and Diana among the most popular guesses.
Earlier Monday, bells at Westminster Abbey pealed and gun salutes were fired across London in honour of the newborn princess. Dozens of deafening volleys were fired from Hyde Park and the Tower of London.
