Louis - the newborn stingray named after the Royal Baby

A newborn baby stingray, who was discovered by keepers at the National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham shortly after the Duchess of Cambridge went into labour, has been named Louis, after the new Royal Baby.

The Duke and Duchess' second son was born on Monday at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London. Yesterday, it was announced that they would name him Louis, and that he would be known as His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.

The new prince is fifth in line to the throne. Stingray Louis is an endangered blue-spotted variety.

Jonny Rudd, the curator at the centre, said it was only fitting to name their precious new arrival after the new Royal baby. He hopes it will highlight the plight of the endangered species.
