0 smartphone is just fantastic. he loved technology. he would be amazed that this is happening. >> do you think he would be funny in 2013? >> i'm surprised it holds up, but it does. it's great stuff. >> it's fantastic. so much stuff to look at. >> thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you, appreciate it. that's all for "the lead." here's wolf! the baby's name reveered. the third in line to the british throne will be called his royal highness. we'll bring out the history and the name why they have may have chosen. joe cross, right here in "the situation room" her take on what we've seen so far and her advice for what may be coming next. always, new york city may i don't recall candidate anthony weiner vows to stay in the race despite his shocking admission of sending more sexually charged text messages. i'm wolf blitzer, you're in "the situation room." 24 hours since meeting the royal baby. once again, his royal highness, prince george alexander louis. the announcement from william and catherine came just hours after the queen's first meeting with her news great-grandson action and a visit from the proud new uncle, prince harry. the duke and duchess are now spending some private and quiet time getting to know their son, this according to a palace spokesman. british media reporting the newborn and his parents are in the village of buckle berry where catherine's parents live. we have more on what is going on. first of all the name, becky, steeped in a lot of british history. >> it absolutely is steeped in a lot of british history, it's the first prince of cambridge for more than 190 years, but do remember his great granny's father george 6:00, so if you are going to same to granny, as william seems to have done, you know, i want to be in with the family, as it were, then you've got him. she should be absolutely delighted. experts tell mess -- though, you know, this is a very modern monarchy, and kate and william certainly are doing things their own way, brutally. if this child were to country to the court, the third in line, needn't necessarily call himself george, for example, the grandfather, prince charles, it is said, was considering even when he takes to the throne of calling himself george 6:00. it doesn't matter what name you're born with, but this is steeped in history, and a name that's come to us very, very quickly. so a couple days we've got it. it's the last piece in the puzzle, and prince george and his mum and dad have gone to bucklebury, and has asked us to give them some privacy. >> any idea why there wasn't much more pomp and circumstance surrounding the announcement of the new name? >> if i were to guess, and we don't know, but if i were to guess, it is because they wanted to get this sort of media spotlight process over. i mean, prince harry's name came almost immediately, but there was some speculation this name wouldn't be released for a period of time. there's no doubt they had these names, i'm sure, for some time. it wasn't like they came out of the hospital yesterday and went home last night and said, now, what should we call him? i think there's more to it than that. but the pomp and ceremony we have seen the past couple days, the gun salutes, the ringing of the bells, i think that sort of period is over. the great-granny, you're absolutely right, she went to kensington palace breaking royal protocol. normally you would expect william and kate to bring the baby to her, but we've seen a lot of breaking of royal protocol for what is this very modern monarchy. they've done it and moved away out of the spotlight. becky, thank you. certainly been a whirl went of activity for the world prince, complete with lots of royal visits. car hides and a lot more. >> joining us our cnn royal commentator, victoria article bitter, and kate williams, she's the all thor, by the way of the young elizabeth making of our queen and lecturer at the university of london. kate, what is yare reaction when you heard the name, or shall we say the names? >> well, there was no great surprises here. william and kate, they're a modern couple, a new couple, they want to change the monarchy, but they were going to give this child an out there kind of name. george is so history, the founder the dynasty they are now a part of, it's such a popular name and of course the patron saint of england. alexandera is the queen's middle name. louis was a devoted uncle of prince philip, so this is a bumper name. this lady, who is going to bed just about now in buckingham palace, it's to delight queen eliz biii, and a king gives his name we're living in the second elizabethen era, and one day it may be a georgian era again. >> the queen is very eager for the family to make their own choices. obviously william was born into his position. he knows what's expected, but by nature he and kate are very traditional, so i think it would have been william and kate's choice, but he would have wanted to talk about it with his grandmother 679 he really values her opinion and her experience, and he holds onto those moments with her preciously, so i think he definitely would have run her by it over a cup of teaivities this is the first time for queen elizabeth meeting a great-grandchild. it's speculation, i know, but victoria, take us behind the scenes. what do you think it was like? >> well, the queen does have two great-grandchildren that are girls, but yes, this is the first great-grandson. i think there wouldn't have been too much ceremony. she arrived at kensington this morning. this is a family that is very close, and it's hard to spend lots of time together, simply because all of their schedules are so crazy. she was respectful of the new parents' time, and so she would have just wanted to hold the baby. that's a photograph i we we would have seen. this is the first time a reigning monarch -- so what a monumental moment for the queen to be holding that baby for the first time. >> let as talk about aunt pippa, uncle prince harry, they came by to meet the new baby. what do you think the role they're going to play with this royal baby is going to be? >> as you say, wolf, it's been a really busy time for little prince george he's been receiving visitors, and pippa and james middleton, kate's brother, and uncle harry at the forefront. i think we're definitely sure here that pippa and harry will play a vital reason. we're likely to see them being godparen godparents. i am very sure that pippa will be the godmother and harry the godmother and we'll have to think about -- some royals have up to seven, as william does, and they are going to be right there for him. harry is going to be that fun uncle, the fun uncle you always loved to play with, sliding down the stairs bannisters, that's what he'll be doing. and pippa is so close to kate, sheet be a really -- a second kind of mother to the little boy. >> very lucky little boy indeed to have an uncle like prince harry and an aunt like aunt pippa, and parents like he has as well. we congratulate the entire family. we'll continue this conversation later in "the situation room." but coming up, the ups and downs of raising not just any child. the super nanny jo frost is here, with personal advice. also coming up, she says putting herself out there comes with a cost. the woman who took everyone's breath away standing by her man, huma abedin. me that cheerios is good for your heart, is that true?
