In case you missed it, Prince William and Kate Middleton have announced the name of their newest addition – Louis.
And while we’re still quietly relieved they chose not to name him Prince Albert, now, it turns out, the internet is frantically googling how the hell Prince Louis is actually pronounced.
People have been torn on whether it’s pronounced ‘Lou-ee’ or ‘Lou-es’. Well, we can now confirm, it’s pronounced ‘Lou-ee’.

The name has long been a favourite with monarchies, and was especially popular with the French royals, who had 18 kings all named Louis. Marie Antoinette was married to King Louis XVI.
But it's also a family name for the British royals, too.
Prince Philip's grandfather was Prince Louis Alexander of Battenberg, and Prince Charles had a favourite great uncle named Earl Louis Mountbatten.

Oh come on!! When is grandpa Michael gonna get a look in!? Baby maybe royal but do all their names have to be from this side of family? I’ll hold out hope that toddler George will choose as his monarch name ‘King Michael’ (& when he comes to Australia ‘king mick’...
Well, now I really want to see a royal baby in a tiny adidas tracksuit.
