Royal Baby: Princess Cambridge Ready to Meet the Queen, World Ready to Know Her Name

HRH Princess of Cambridge has a name... and it might be announced today! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are scheduled to drive to Norfolk with their two mini-royals. The princess will have her first audience with Queen Elizabeth II at Sandringham, according to the Telegraph. It is there, to the queen, some believe her name will be announced, although there is no protocol for them to wait until the queen meets the baby.

Royal gun salutes will be fired across London, with a barrage of gunfire from the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Hyde Park and the Tower of London.

The most favored names are still Charlotte and Alice. There are some who have placed their cash on Diana, as a tribute to Prince William's late mother, but another name has crept its way into the mix: Olivia. William-Hill spokesman Rupert Adams told the London Evening Standard: "It has been mayhem with Charlotte and Alice very much the favourites. This late move for Olivia has taken us by surprise and it has to be a strong contender."

Adams told the Standard that the favored name was Charlotte at 3/1, with Alice 7/2, while Olivia had been the big mover cut from 33/1 to 5/1.

The princess met some other VIPs at Kensington Palace on Sunday, including the Middletons, and heir to the throne, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla.
