The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, welcomed her third child on April 23, 2018, at the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in London, with Prince William by her side. The royal family made the announcement shortly after, and soon after, they introduced Prince Louis to the world. Fans and experts speculated on potential names until the couple revealed his official name: Louis Arthur Charles Cambridge. His full title is His Royal Highness Prince Louis of the United Kingdom.
Born in a hospital known for royal deliveries, baby Louis weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces—making him the heaviest at birth in the family in a century. The traditional gun salute celebrated his arrival in London. As the fifth in line for the throne, his birth impacts royal succession, especially with the recent gender-neutral laws that keep Princess Charlotte’s position unchanged. Despite new family milestones, Kate plans to attend Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding on May 19, 2018.
