Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named their daughter

The Princess is named in honour of her Grandfather, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother: Kate and William announce the very evocative names of their new daughter

After days of speculation, the baby's name was announced by Kensington Palace this afternoon as Charlotte Elizabeth Diana (pictured centre). She will be known as Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. A princess called Charlotte - a name that is French in origin - is a nod to her grandfather (inset), the Prince of Wales. Charlotte is also the middle name of Kate's sister Pippa Middleton, while Elizabeth is in tribute to the Queen (bottom right). Her third name is in honour of William's late mother, The Princess of Wales (top right). see another photo of the baby after this cut...
