Tara Woligrocki, Hannah Sherman, Darren Pierce, Tyler Brown, Larry Patteson PRESENTED BY L ONDON - The little prince was in need of a name, and now, by George, he's got one. Make that three: George Alexander Louis. The announcement Wednesday Prince William and his wife, Kate, had selected a moniker steeped in British history came as royal officials said the new parents were seeking quiet family time away from the flashbulbs and frenzy that accompanied the birth of their first child. While the news put to rest intense speculation over what name the couple would choose, the extreme interest around it illustrated how the two- day- old future heir is already on his way to a lifetime of fanfare and public glare. Kensington Palace said William and Kate were " delighted to announce" their son's name, adding that the baby will be known as " His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge." The name George - borne by six British kings - befits the boy now third in line to the throne and was a favourite among British bookmakers, evoking the steadfastness of the queen's father, George VI, who rallied the nation during the Second World War. Alexander is a name shared by three medieval Scottish kings, and Louis could be a tribute to Lord Louis Mountbatten, uncle to the Queen's husband, Prince Philip, and the last British viceroy of India before it gained independence in 1947. William's father, Prince Charles, was close to Mountbatten, who was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army in 1979. The announcement of the name, just two days after the baby's birth, was quick by royal standards. The Queen and Philip took a month before settling on the name Charles for the Prince of Wales. Charles and Princess Diana took a week before settling on William's four names. While a king usually rules under his given name, precedent shows the prince is not hidebound by George. The first name of George VI was actually Albert, but he picked his fourth name to use as sovereign in honour of his father, George V. For now, palace officials say, William and Kate are spending " private and quiet time for them to get to know their son." Some of their discussions may revolve around how to shield him from the media. The young prince's relationship with the media appeared to get off to a good start - an encouraging sign for a Royal Family that has had tense moments with the press. The baby slept through his first photo op Tuesday outside London's St. Mary's Hospital, while his parents beamed as they chatted easily with reporters. " I thought, ' Is this an Oscar- winning performance?' " said Ingrid Seward, editorin- chief of Majesty magazine. " But I think they were so genuinely overjoyed that they wanted to show off the baby." After leaving the hospital, the couple introduced their son to his uncle, Prince Harry, and to his great- grandmother, the Queen, who was keen to see the baby before she starts her annual summer vacation in Scotland later this week. Then they headed to see Kate's parents in their village near London - pretty much like any regular family. There has been so much royal drama in the last few decades that it's easy to forget William had, by royal standards, a relatively normal childhood made possible because the palace struck a deal with the media: privacy in exchange for a number of agreedupon photo opportunities at birthdays and during school holidays. Seward said Kate and William will try to arrange a similar deal for their son. " In return for some really beautiful photographs, they will be left alone." - The Associated Press Name announced as parents retreat Newborn future king called George Alexander Louis By Jill Lawless And Cassandra Vinograd LEFTERIS PITARAKIS / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Duchess of Cambridge holds Prince George Alexander Louis during his first photo op Tuesday.
