Prince William And Kate Middleton’s Announce Royal Baby Name

Four days after welcoming their third child, Prince William and Kate Middleton have revealed the name they have given their little prince: Louis Arthur Charles.

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son Louis Arthur Charles," Kensington Palace announced in a statement tonight.

"The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge."

The Duke and Duchess welcomed little Louis on April 23 at 11:01, with Kensington Palace announcing the news via Twitter.

Speculation was rife over what name the royal couple would choose, with Arthur, Albert, James, Philip, Thomas, Edward and Fred as standouts, however, Louis wasn't among the top picks.

The bulletin has been placed outside Buckingham Palace formally announcing the birth of the The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's new son. The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 1101hrs. The baby weighs 8lbs 7oz. The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well.

As is royal tradition, the couple had to inform the Queen of their intended name before officially announcing it. 

Wills and Kate introduced Prince Louis, who is now fifth in line to the British throne, on the steps of The Lindo Wing at St Mary's hospital as they did with both Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Weighing in at 3.8kgs, the little prince has already broken a royal record, not only was he Kate's heaviest bub, but he's also the heaviest male royal in 100 years.
