Princess Andre sparks concern as she shows off own car after passing test
Princess Andre - who is the youngest of Katie Price's two children with her ex-husband Peter Andre - has shared that she now has her own car after passing her driving test recently Content creator Princess Andre has announced that she's got her first car just weeks after passing her driving test. She has been met with support after sharing photos of it earlier, though they sparked concern among some fans. Princess, 17, showcased her white Audi on Instagram this afternoon. She was seen holding the keys whilst beside the vehicle in two photos on the platform and, beside an emoji of a car, she wrote in the caption: "I bought my first car." Her post now has more than 50,000 likes and Princess - whose parents are Katie Price and Peter Andre - received well wishes in the comments section. Fans congratulated her and there were compliments about her new car. Some people expressed concern over the PRINCESS registration plate that was visible in the photos though. A number of fans however have pointed out that it isn't a real number plate, with it covering the actual one in the photos. Sharing their concern, one person responded to the post: "I love this but why would you show and have that number plate? Target for every a******e and nutter out there!" Another said: "Well done be careful with that plate people recognising it will keep following be safe always." A third wrote in their reply to Princess' post: "Beautiful car but I'd be a bit scared on my own with ur plate in this mad world." They weren't alone in expressing concern. Another person reacted to the post: "It's beautiful Princess. Just be safe love, Drive careful. I do think the number plate gives boys a heads up to follow you though. Just be careful and your be fine. Enjoy after all your hard work." Amid the concern, a number of people reacted by sharing that Princess wasn't showing her actual registration plate. Addressing the situation, one fan wrote in the comments: "It's a show plate, you can see the real one behind." Another follower said: "It's actually covering up the real plate." Someone else reacted to the attention that the plate in the photo had received: "The amount of people thinking this is her actual plate." They included a facepalm emoji. Elsewhere in the comments section, Princess was met with support over the news. One fan wrote: "Yay!!! So happy for you Princess! Well done." Another said: "Congratulations and be safe." Someone else wrote: "Love it! Well done." Princess' step-mother Emily Andre, 35, who has been married to Peter, 52, since 2015, was among those who reacted to the post this evening. Alongside flame and heart emojis, Emily wrote to Princess in a comment: "Yay". There's also been reaction from Princess' mother Katie, 47, who shared her daughter's post on her Instagram Story. She wrote in the caption: "So proud and so scared at the same time my baby girl turns 18 next month too so lots of exciting things we will be doing together."

New Zealand continues ban on popular UK names for intriguing reason
Several baby names have been banned in New Zealand despite their popularity on this side of the world Every country has their own rules on baby names and what titles they will allow or disallow. Choosing a baby name is one of life's toughest decisions, with some parents driven by tradition and others by uniqueness. While British parents typically have the freedom to name their children whatever they like, the UK Deed Police Office details certain strict guidelines to ensure some names will never appear on a birth certificate. On the flip side, New Zealand is upholding a ban on names that are actually increasingly popular in the UK and the US - specifically because they go against the nation's stringent naming regulations. Names with a Royal theme such as Prince, Princess, and King are favoured in several countries, including the UK. However, these violate rules laid down by the New Zealand Law Society. These stipulate that names must be under 70 characters, devoid of non-standard symbols, and not resemble official titles. An Official Information Act inquiry, reported by The Independent, reveals that the New Zealand government turned down applications for royal-themed names like King (11 requests), Prince (10 requests), Princess (4 requests) and the variant Pryncess (2 requests). In contrast, in the US, according to the US Social Security Administration, King was the 266th most popular baby name in 2023, followed by Royal at 402, Prince at 364, and Princess at 919. US courts generally interpret the Constitution as safeguarding parents' rights to name their child, resulting in a more relaxed approach to names. Some states do enforce restrictions around certain symbols, specific names, or titles such as King and Queen. In the UK, names like 'King' and 'Princess' could be rejected if it is believed they might mislead people. Names may also be prohibited if they contain offensive language or obscenity, include symbols, numbers, or punctuation marks, or are excessively long or difficult to pronounce. In the UK, there have been occasions where names such as 'King' and 'Princess' have met with rejection for official use, though many in the nation do carry these names. The UK Deed Poll Office states: "While we don't have an official list of banned names, we assess applications on a case-by-case basis, and names that could cause a child harm or confusion will likely be rejected." Figures from the site indicate that amongst girl's names, Princess sits at 73rd in terms of popularity, whereas Prince is positioned at 112th for boys. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The ONS commented: "Following Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953, the names Elizabeth and Philip increased in popularity in England and Wales." It was noted, though, that "Royal names were less popular in 2023, which may be because of a variety of modern influences on baby names."
