The Royal Baby, Princess of Cambridge has been Named by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
Announcing the name in a statement this afternoon after days of speculation, Kensington Palace said: ‘The
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have
named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. The baby will be known
as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.’

Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge leave the
Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital with their new born baby daughter
It
is believed that Kate and William, who first showed their baby daughter
to the world on Saturday morning outside the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s
Hospital in London, will travel to Norfolk tomorrow where the new
princess is reportedly due to meet with The Queen for the first time.
The
princess called Charlotte a name that is French in origin will be seen
as a nod to her grandfather, the Prince of Wales, while Elizabeth and
Diana are an obvious mark of respect to William’s 89-year-old
grandmother and his late mother respectively.
The Princess of Cambridge, who is now fourth in line to the throne, was born on Saturday May 2, weighing
8lb 3oz. Kate and William, who returned home to Kensington Palace less
than 12 hours later, had held off revealing the name until the baby had
been visited by the princess’s grandparents.
