Charlotte Elizabeth Diana is Royal Baby's Name

In the week of an election that has failed to make hearts flutter, many in Britain rejoiced on Monday May 04,2015 after Kensington Palace announced that Britain's new princess would be named Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

The baby, the second child of Prince William and his wife, the former Kate Middleton - and the fifth great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth - will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

The name for the princess, the fourth in line to the throne, seemed to reach across several generations, paying apparent tribute to the baby's late grandmother, Princess Diana, and to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Charlotte is the feminine form of Charles, so she is also apparently named after her paternal grandfather, Prince Charles, as well as two British kings from Stuart times.
