His full name is Louis Arthur Charles. He will be known as "His Royal Highness, Prince Louis of Cambridge" and is fifth in line to the British throne.

Louis, pronounced "lou-ee,"' pays tribute to the favorite uncle of Prince Charles, "Louis Mounbatten". The baby's middle name is a nod to Prince Charles, himself.
