If you placed your money on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge naming their daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, now is the time to claim your winnings.

Will and Kate left the hospital with their new princess on Saturday evening, but at the time of her birth, the baby did not have a name. Now, the U.K.'s ITV News reports that the baby's name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

Princess Charlotte is fourth in line to the throne, after Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince George. According to The Guardian, Charlotte is the closest female in line for the throne since Princess Anne's birth, almost 65 years ago.
