The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge named their second son, who is fifth in line to the throne, Louis Arthur Charles, and the child will be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.
So far, so standard.
Now, enter Nicola Coughlan.
The actress, who plays Clare in Derry Girls, is fairly certain that this choice of name will do more for Anglo-Irish relations than many of us may have initially realised.
And she took to Twitter to say as much.

Surprisingly, not everyone is as convinced as Nicola that the royal couple named their son after Kiltimagh’s most famous export.
Although, why they wouldn’t have is beyond us.
And with that, Twitter users decided to throw in their two cents, and speculate over who the newborn might have actually been named after.
