From Washington Post:
EXCERPT:
Royal baby is named George Alexander Louis
LONDON — The bookies were right: He Who Had No Name is now Prince George.
His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, to be exact.
On Wednesday, that regal name was bestowed on Britain’s two-day old royal baby by his parents, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Although the thoroughly modern royal couple chose a thoroughly modern way to distribute the news, via Twitter, “Prince George” is as old-school as it gets.
No fewer than six British kings have borne the name George, with its personal symbolism for William making it an obvious pick for months in betting pools across this island nation. The last of the six was George VI, William’s great-grandfather, whose valiant battle with a speech impediment as he assumed the throne following his brother’s abdication was dramatized in the Oscar-winning film “The King’s Speech.”

I hope the “Louis” signifies that they will again raise the claim to France.
