The baby will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

As we reported, Charlotte was born Saturday and weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces. She is fourth in line to the throne, behind grandfather Prince Charles, dad Prince William and brother Prince George, who was born in July 2013.
NPR’s Ari Shapiro has more from London:
“This name is full of meaning. Charlotte is a nod to Prince Charles, the baby’s grandfather.
“Elizabeth is the name of her great-grandmother, the queen.
“And Diana was the name of the baby’s grandmother, Princess Diana, who died in 1997.”
