Daughter of PM Cameron gets Cornish middle name
LONDON — British Prime Minister David Cameron has named his newborn daughter Florence Rose Endellion Cameron.
The baby was expected in September, but was born this week while the family was vacationing in the county of Cornwall in southwestern England.
Cameron said Wednesday his daughter would receive a name reflecting her birthplace: the nearby village of St. Endellion.
The leader’s other children — 6-year-old Nancy and 4-year-old Arthur — have visited their new sister and mother Samantha. The Cameron’s eldest son, Ivan, died last year at the age of 6.
President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the queen and Prince Charles all sent congratulations to Cameron.
