So the prince is named after my son!

Guess what the British prince has been named? “Don’t tell me they’ve gone with George!” said my son, Gautam.

Ever since his birth on 22nd July 2013, the television channels had been screaming out that “George” was the front runner among the bookmakers, followed by James, Alexander, Henry, Arthur, Albert and other traditionally royal names. The parents, William and Kate, decided on George Alexander Louis, so it looks like he’ll be referred to as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
