For the time being, what we know about the son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is that he will be HRH Prince (insert name here) of Cambridge. But that's it.
When the Duke left St. Mary's Hospital on Tuesday with his new family he said they would have a name "as soon as we can."
And Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall told the assembled media and well-wishers outside the hospital that they had no idea what the child's name was.
A source with knowledge of the matter told London's Evening Standard newspaper that the happy couple have "a number of names in mind, but they wanted to see his little face and get to know him first."
NAME HIM IN ONE!: Create your own royal name
A number of names have emerged as likely contenders at bookmakers, including George and James, but it's not clear whether the royal couple will opt for a traditional-sounding name or break with protocol and go for something more unusual.
According to the BBC, it took a week for Prince William's parents — Diana and Charles — to announce their newborn's name in 1982, while the Prince of Wales' name was not revealed for a whole month when he was born in 1948. However, Prince Harry's name was made public when he left the hospital in 1984.
Reporters stationed outside the gates of Kensington Place said Wednesday over social media that the queen was seen entering the palace to visit her great-grandson after making the trip from Buckingham Palace in a green Bentley.
She stayed for approximately 30 minutes.
Earlier, there was speculation that Britain's monarch may not have had the opportunity to see the new baby before her traditional summer vacation at Balmoral, where she is headed on Friday
