The world’s most famous infant finally has a name: the little prince will be called George Alexander Louis, His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, Clarence House revealed on Wednesday.
There have been six kings with the name of George, but none named Alexander or Louis.
The announcement raises speculation that if he were to become king the new prince would choose the name George VII, but there is no guarantee that as monarch he would use his first name. His great-great-grandfather, George VI, was christened Albert Frederick Arthur George and used his fourth name when he came to the throne.
The Telegraph reported that broadcasters at Kensington Palace were asking “is it ‘Lou-ey’ or ‘Lou-iss?’”
The announcement comes as palace officials say Prince William and his wife Kate are spending “private and quiet time for them to get to know their son” — and, perhaps, to figure out ways to shield him from intense public and media interest.
At least the relationship got off to a good start. The baby slept through his first photo op outside London’s St. Mary’s Hospital, while his parents beamed as they chatted easily with reporters.
For a Royal Family that has had a fraught relationship with the media, it was a positive sign.
