New prince yet to be named, William says
The Duke of Cambridge has said he and his wife are "still working on a name" for their son, who has spent his first night at home after leaving hospital, BBC reported,
The world got its first glimpse of the unnamed prince as the royal couple left St Mary's Hospital, west London.
Speaking to journalists on the steps of the hospital, William said they would choose a name "as soon as we can."
But royal fans may have to wait some time - in 1982 Prince William's name was only announced after a week.
George is the bookmakers' favourite for the name of the prince who is destined to be king one day. James and Alexander are among other names on a short price.
The prospects of him being named after his father has been virtually written off by the bookmakers, with both Ladbrokes and Paddy Power rating William as a 50/1 shot.
Asked by the BBC's royal correspondent Peter Hunt if the baby had already been named George, Prince William replied: "Wait and see, Peter, wait and see."
Prince William and Catherine appeared relaxed and smiled as they appeared with the new arrival on the steps of the hospital in front of a mass of photographers.
The duke told reporters: "He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure. He's a big boy, he's quite heavy."
He said: "It's the first time we have seen him really so we are having a proper chance to catch up."
