A Prince by any other name would still be just as royal.
That said, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Catherine, have now named their third child.
Welcome to the nation, Louis Arthur Charles!
The baby was born in the Lindo Wing of London’s St. Mary’s Hospital on Monday the 23rd of April.
Kensington Palace confirmed that the newborn weighed 3.8 kilograms and left the hospital on the same day, giving the world a glimpse as William and Kate held him outside the facility.
The new baby—who is fifth in line to the throne—will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.

The name “Louis” was not amongst bookies’ favorites, with odds high on Arthur, Albert, Phillip, James and Alexander.
The previous “Prince Louis” was Prince Louis Alexander Mountbatten of Battenberg, who was a naval officer and German prince related to the British Royal family.
We’re sending lots of love to Louis!
