Update: The Duke and Duchess officially announced what they called their third child.

Royal fans are convinced the Duke and Duchess have called their third royal baby Prince Albert after believing they detected an error on the royal family website.

When searching the URL https://www.royal.uk/prince-albert, people are met with a page that says “Access denied: You are not authorised to access this page.” This is the same page that comes up when using the same URL with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

However, when you add any other name in the royal website URL - from Arthur to Alexander - users are met with a page that says: “Page not found: The requested page could not be found.”

As a result, fans on Twitter have been convinced that the couple have named their third child Albert - ‘Prince Albert’ has even started trending.

However one Twitter user helpfully pointed out that the reason the Prince Albert page comes up with the same message to Prince George and Princess Charlotte is because there is another page on Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband.

She said if you add a ‘0’ to the URL for George and Charlotte, the page can be viewed.

Either way, it just shows how eager the royal fans are to find out the royal baby name.

HuffPost UK has contacted Kensington Palace for comment. As spokesperson was unable to confirm when the baby name would be released.

14 Perfect Baby Names For Children Born In The Winter Months

Robin(01 of14)

Robin is English in origin, and originally became popular because of Robin Hood. Today the name is more closely associated with the British wintery bird - the robin red breast.

Snow(02 of14)

Nothing says winter months like longing for a touch of snow on the ground. Whether you love it or hate it, a white Christmas is symbolic of the season.

Alaska(03 of14)

This might seem like an odd choice for non-Americans, but famous for being a place of temperature extremes, Alaska has beautiful origins, meaning 'great land'.

Noelle(04 of14)

Noelle (or Noel) translates from French to Christmas.

January(05 of14)

Made famous by actress January Jones, this would be a great choice for a baby born in the first month of the year, or for parents who love the new beginnings it represents.

Elsa(06 of14)

The idea of calling your child Elsa might give lots of parents Frozen-related nightmares, but you have to admit, it's pretty wintery.

Holly(07 of14)

What could be more traditional than paying homage to the winter shrub? Holly is a name with English roots.

Paloma(08 of14)

The Spanish name for dove, Paloma is a great choice for a girl.

Neva(09 of14)

In Latin, the word 'nivis' means snow and this has evolved into Neva in the English language. A great choice if you fancy weather-inspired monikers, but want to be less obvious.

Demi(10 of14)

Demeter was the Greek goddess responsible for the arrival of winter. Shortened to Demi this is a great name for a child of the colder months.

Lumi(11 of14)

Meaning snow in Finnish, Lumi is a great choice (even if the most snow we get is some wet slush).

Bianca(12 of14)

Famous for staring in both Shakespeare's 'Othello' and 'The Taming Of The Shrew', Bianca actually translates to white.

Ember(13 of14)

A less conventional choice (sounding a little like Amber), Ember evokes images of cold nights getting cosy by the fire.

Eirwen(14 of14)

Eirwen is a Welsh name (pronouced 'Ay-ren') and roughly translates to white as snow.
