The name of the Princess of Cambridge has finally been revealed to the world as Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
In a touching tribute, the little girl, who was born on Saturday, has been named in honour of her grandfather, her grandmother and her great-grandmother.
Announcing the name in a statement this afternoon after days of speculation, Kensington Palace said: 'The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
'The baby will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.' 

A princess called Charlotte — a name that is French in origin — is a nod to her grandfather, the Prince of Wales. 
William has spoken of his deep respect for his father and the amount of time the prince commits to his charitable work. 'I just really hold him in great admiration,' the Duke has said.
The Prince of Wales strove to protect William and Prince Harry following the death of their mother Diana Princess of Wales and backed them as they have worked to honour her memory through their charitable connections.

Charlotte is also the middle name of Kate's sister Pippa Middleton. In French, it means 'petite' and 'feminine' or 'free man'. 

In royal history, George IV named his only child Charlotte, but she died in childbirth at 21. George III's wife was Queen Charlotte, who was born 1744.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are likely to have chosen Elizabeth in tribute to the baby's great-grandmother the Queen. 
When the baby's older brother, Prince George, was born in 2013, the royal couple took two days to reveal his name, waiting until after Queen Elizabeth II had met her new great-grandson.   

BlackBox Nigeria had earlier reported that many Britons had been betting money on a possible baby name with many picking 'Alice', 'Elizabeth', amongst other popular perceived royal names.
