Britain's New Prince Named George Alexander Louis

Third in line to the throne

It's a name fit for a king: George Alexander Louis.

Prince William and Kate Middleton officially announced the name of their newborn son, now third in line to the throne, Wednesday.

An official statement said the baby, born Monday, would be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.

Earlier Wednesday, Queen Elizabeth II visited with her new great-grandson at Kensington Palace for the first time, before William and Kate took the royal baby to visit his maternal grandparents in Bucklebury, a village west of London.

Because in times of societal turmoil, it is always good to have a King named Louis...

I dinna undeerstand. Is that his full name, or everything but the family name, or what? How do names work with the nobility anyway? If they sign their name, do they sign the title and no family name? What does William's military ID card say, or that of any nobility?
