Gun salutes have taken place in London today to mark the birth of the new Princess.
It has also been revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen the names Charlotte, Elizabeth, Diana for their new baby girl.
"The fourth in line to the throne will be known as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge," reported the BBC on Monday after the announcement was made public by Kensington Palace.
