Royal baby: Duke and Duchess of Cambridge register birth of Prince George

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have formally registered the birth of their son Prince George, with the Duchess giving her occupation as "Princess of the United Kingdom".


The Duchess is entitled to use the title Princess William of Wales, but has never described herself as such because the couple decided to be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after the titles were conferred on them by the Queen on their wedding day.

The couple were given a standard birth certificate for "His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge", but unlike other new parents they did not have to attend their local register office.


Instead, Alison Cathcart, the deputy registrar of Westminster, visited the Duke this morning at Kensington Palace, to which he returned after spending more than a week staying with the Duchess and her parents in Berkshire.


The Duke of Cambridge chose to give his occupation as Prince of the United Kingdom, rather than RAF helicopter pilot, perhaps to show solidarity with the Duchess.

The couple gave their "usual address" as Kensington Palace, and the Duke, who was the nominated informant, signed the certificate "William".

The Duchess remained at her parents' home, and the Duke will return to work next week after his two-week statutory paternity leave ends.
