The name of the Princess of Cambridge has finally been revealed to the world as Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
In a touching tribute to William's beloved family, the little girl has been named in honour of her grandfather, her grandmother and her great-grandmother.
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.'
The Princess of Cambridge, who is now fourth in line to the throne, was born on Saturday morning at the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital, weighing 8lb 3oz. Kate and William, who made an appearance with their daughter on the hospital steps, had held off revealing the name until the baby had been visited by her grandparents.
A 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.
Royal aides told MailOnline that the baby's second names were self-evident and would 'speak for themselves'. As for Charlotte, they pointed out that much had been written about it being the feminine form of Charles.
