LONDON — Britain’s newborn princess has spent her first night at home in Kensington Palace — but the guessing game continues over what her name will be.

It’s possible she will be named today (May 3) by her parents, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, but there’s no fixed timetable for the announcement.

The baby may receive visits from senior royals and grandparents today if her parents are up for it. The family is expected to spend several days at their London home before travelling to their country home on Queen Elizabeth II’s Sandringham estate.
