A woman was left “devastated” after her daughter’s passport application was rejected because she was named after a Game of Thrones character.

Lucy, 39, from Swindon in Wiltshire, said the Passport Office initially refused the application for Khaleesi, six.

Officials said they were unable to issue a passport unless Warner Brothers gave permission because it owned the name’s trademark. But the authority has since apologised for the error.

Although, if any one company was going to that, it’d probably be Disney.

When they age out of the It’s A Small World cast, Disney sells them to Nestlé.

I’m prepared to believe this, so won’t be fact-checking it.
