George had been the bookmakers’ favourite for the first name of the prince, who is third in line to the throne.
He will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
They are currently at the duchess’s family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, after spending a night at Kensington Palace.
The Duke and Duchess had been expected to pick a traditional royal name
for their son, who was born at St Mary’s Hospital in London on Monday at
16:24 BST, weighing 8lbs 6oz.
Royal infants usually have historical names which are passed down through the generations.
This is a relatively quick announcement of a name compared to previous royal babies.
It was seven days before the name of a newborn Prince William was
announced in 1982, and there was a wait of a month following the Prince
Charles’s birth in 1948.
All births in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, regardless of
parentage, must be registered within 42 days at the hospital before
leaving or a register office.
