DHAKA: 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 honor of her grandfather, her grandmother and her great-grandmother, reports dailymail.co.uk.

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, while Elizabeth and Diana are an obvious mark of respect to William's grandmother and late mother respectively.

Royal aides told Mail Online that the baby’s second names were self-evident and would ‘speak for themselves’.

As for Charlotte, they pointed out that much had been written about it being the feminine form of Charles.

Another royal source said they understood the couple simply liked the name – but admitted it was a ‘happy coincidence’ that both William’s father and mother would live on in their grand-daughter.

William has previously 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.
