George was born at St Mary's Hospital here on July 22 and his birth saw wishes pouring in for the royal family from across the world.

Great Britain has seen six kings earlier with the name George though none was named Alexander or Louis.

Queen Elizabeth II's full name is Elizabeth Alexandra Mary while Prince William's complete name is William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor. The name of the infant raises speculation that he could choose the title George VII.

George's great-great-grandfather George VI, father of the current queen, was christened Albert Frederick Arthur George and used his fourth name after ascending to the throne.
