Gun salutes have taken place in London today to mark the birth of the new Princess.
It has also been revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen the names Charlotte, Elizabeth, Diana for their new baby girl.
"The fourth in line to the throne will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge," reported the BBC on Monday after the announcement was made public by Kensington Palace.
Charlotte along with Alice had been widely speculated as the favourite possible names for the princess. And many also believed the couple would include the name Diana in honour of Prince William's mother.
Princess Charlotte of Cambridge is the second child of Prince William and his wife.
She is also fourth in line to the throne after her grandfather Prince Charles, her father Prince William and her brother Prince George who will be turning 2 years old in July.
Prince William and his wife HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, were married in April 2011 after which they spent their honeymoon at the exclusive private island resort on Seychelles’ North Island, revealed as the most expensive hotel in the world in July last year, at an average cost of $6,695 per night.
