Kensington Palace on Monday announced that the newborn princess would be called Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

News of the name had been eagerly anticipated since the baby princess - the second child of Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge - was delivered Saturday morning.

The princess is the fifth great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and is fourth in the line of succession to the throne, after her grandfather Charles, her father William and her older brother George.
