All hail His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge! After welcoming the birth of their firstborn son on Monday, July 22, Kate Middleton and Prince William announced the name of the future King of England on Wednesday.

In 1981, he married Lady Diana Spencer, with whom he had two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. The couple divorced in 1996. Charles has since remarried; he and his former mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles, were wed in 2005.

Born June 21, 1982, Prince William is the third-eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II, and the second in line to the throne. In April 2011, he married Kate Middleton. A little less than two years later, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced
