Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana is preparing for her first audience with the Queen at Sandringham - after her name was announced to the world.
The Duke and Duchess ended days of speculation after revealing the choice on Monday afternoon following days of speculation. Charlotte had been one of the bookies' favourites and many punters had believed Diana would feature as one of the royal baby's names in tribute to Prince William's late mother.
The royal are expected to drive to Norfolk with their two children, where they will take the new baby to meet Her Majesty.
The Duke and Duchess welcomed VIP visitors - including the Middletons, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall - to Kensington Palace on Sunday.
Royal gun salutes were fired across London on Monday to mark the princess's birth, with volleys ringing out across the capital from the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Hyde Park and the Tower of London.
