The Duchess of Cambridge and husband Prince William have decided to name their baby boy Louis Arthur Charles, Kensington Palace said on Friday.
"The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge," the palace said.
The couple's third child weighed eight pounds, seven ounces and was born on April 23 at 6:01 a.m. ET at St. Mary's Hospital in London.
William and Kate married in 2011. Their other children are Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, who will be three years old next month. All three children were born at the same hospital where William and younger brother Prince Harry came into the world.
Kate and William's third child, Queen Elizabeth's sixth great-grandchild, is fifth in line to the throne, after grandfather Prince Charles, father Prince William and the two older siblings.
Prince Harry, who will marry American Meghan Markle next month, is sixth. On Thursday it was announced that Prince William would serve as best man for Harry at the May 19 wedding.
