The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have this evening revealed that their son - now the third in line to the throne - will be called George.
Kensington Palace revealed the babys full name will be George Alexander Louis. William and Kates baby will be known as Prince George and as third in line to the throne will one day be king.
Kensington Palace said in a short statement: 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.
By naming their son George - which is synonymous with British kings - it looks like the couple have followed tradition. However, royal sources say the babys names are not supposed to be symbolic but that the couple genuinely like them.
It has come to represent the continuity of the monarchy and remained the bookmakers favourite in the name-guessing stakes from the moment Kates pregnancy was announced. Six King Georges have worn the crown throughout history since the German-born George I, the first Hanoverian king of Great Britain, acceded to the throne in 1714.
