The Royal Baby

Prince William and Kate Middleton became parents with the birth of their first child on 22 July 2013, when their son Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge was born at 4.24pm weighing 8lbs 6oz.

Royal infants usually have historical names which are passed down through the generations. George is named after his great-great-grandfather King George VI, the Queen's father.

William and Kate may well need nannies to help with the care of their child while they fulfil their royal duties, but the royal couple are determined to be hands-on and fully involved in Prince George's upbringing.

Although he will undoubtedly grow up in the limelight, other members of the British family have said that William and Kate will know how to protect their child.
