Royal Baby Name: Kate Middleton and Prince William Announce New Baby's Name George Alexander Louis

Prince William and Duccess Kate Middleton have announced Wednesday that they've named their baby George Alexander Louis. Clarence House which is the official residence of heirs to the throne said to CNN that the baby will "be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge."

CNN reported that Queen Elizabeth went to Kensington Palace to see the baby for the first time as well as Prince Harry.

The couple showed their baby to the world for the first time on Tuesday outside St. Mary's Hospital in London where Middleton gave birth.

ABC News reported that Middleton stood outside holding her baby son wearing a pale, baby blue dress with white polka dots.

Glamour UK reported that the dress was from designer Jenny Packham. 31 years ago, Princess Diana emerged from the same hospital holding her son Prince William also wearing a flow dress with white polka dots.

The baby was born yesterday and was 8 pounds and 6 ounces. They have not yet announced what the baby's name will be. William said to the crowd according to ABC News, "He's got a good pair of lungs. That's for sure," and that " He's a big boy. He's quite heavy. We're still working on a name, so we'll have that as soon as we can."

"It's the first time we've seen him, really, so we're having a proper chance to catch up," a smiling William added.

Kate said that "It's very emotional" and that "It's such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like."

William also joked about the baby's hair and said, "He's got way more than me, thank God."

Before the couple went back into the hospital Prince William said, "I will remind him of his tardiness when he's a little older because I know how long you've all been standing out here. I hope you guys can get back to normal now and we can look after him."
