So, the royal baby finally has a name! On Tuesday, July 24, Kensington Palace released a press statement naming the new prince, George Alexander Louis. It only took Will and Kate two days to name their baby boy - less time than it has taken previous royals! It took Will's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, exactly one month to name Will's father, Prince Charles. It took Prince Charles and Princess Diana one week to name Prince William.
The little prince has quite a bit of history behind his first name, George. Six of England's most recent kings have been named, George. In fact, George has been the most popular name for English kings in the past 300 years. Queen Elizabeth II's father, King George VI, was the last to reign with that given name.
What do you guys think about the new prince's name? Love it or hate it?

Baby Cambridge!
Today the world got its first glimpse of the future king of England, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's new baby boy.
William told the press that he's glad his son looks like his mother, the Duchess. Aw! He also made the promise that he will remind the little boy later about how he was late getting here. Although no due date was ever released, it is speculated that Kate was due to give birth July 11.
Earlier, before the young prince made his way home with his parents, he was visited by both sets of grandparents. Kate's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, visited and answered questions from the press. Stating that the new parents were happy and their grandson was adorable.
Hours later, Will's dad, Prince Charles, and his stepmother, Camilla, visited. Prince Charles was all pride as he left the hospital.
William says that they are still working on a name for the new prince, but hopes they will figure it out soon. I'll keep all of you posted on the latest news.
