The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to him shortly after 11 a.m. BST on Monday, 23 April. Little Louis is fifth in line to the throne.
Kate and William took two days to announce the names of both Charlotte and George, and the Queen was also informed of their choice prior to the announcement.
Thanks to a law that was passed in 2013, Princess Charlotte’s position in the line of succession is unchanged following the birth of her younger brother Louis. Prior to the passing of this law, the birth of a younger male heir would affect an older female heir’s position in line to the throne.
Welcome to the world, prince Louis!
