Kate delivered a baby boy on April 23, 2018, at St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London. This is the third child of the royal couple after four-year-old Prince George born in 2013 and two-year-old Princess Charlotte, born in 2015. The Buckingham Palace is currently having double celebrations with the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in close to two weeks.

Louis is one of the middle names of Prince William and of the new prince's brother, George. But soon after the announcement, there is another discussion as to how to pronounce the name of the baby?  There are two ways to spell it as 'Lou-ee' or 'Lu-iss.' But the name is originally a French one so the pronunciation for the royal baby will be 'Lou-ee.' Luiss or Lewis is more of an English way to say the name.

It took about 4 days for the world to know the name and once announced the common question began. The family is rather having a busy time schedule with the wedding preps going on simultaneously as the arrival of the newborn.
