LONDON – 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.

Britain’s Prince William holds his baby son outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital before leaving with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, in central London July 23, 2013.

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.
