Palace: Prince William, Kate name son George Alexander Louis

photo Britain's Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, react as they talk to the media while holding the Prince of Cambridge on Tuesday after posing for photographers outside St. Mary's Hospital where the Duchess gave birth on Monday.

Royal officials say Britain's new prince has been named George Alexander Louis.

Palace officials said Wednesday that the 2-day-old baby and third-in-line to the throne will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

Earlier in the day, the baby met his great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

His parents - Prince William and Kate - then brought him to Kate's parents in their village near London - pretty much like any regular family.
