AN OVERDUE baby has been named after Prince Andrew – who had suggested a curry might hurry him along.

Lieutenant Tom Lofthouse and his wife Judy spoke to the Duke of York at a Royal Navy Wings Parade last week.
Their baby was overdue by a week so they took the Duke’s advice and had a curry after the ceremony at RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset.
To the couple’s delight, baby Arthur was born later that evening.

The Duke of York advised my wife to have a curry which we did that evening and it seemed to do the trick, therefore we couldn’t resist adding Andrew as a middle name
Lt Lofthouse, who has qualified as a Sea King pilot, said: “The Duke of York advised my wife to have a curry which we did that evening and it seemed to do the trick, therefore we couldn’t resist adding Andrew as a middle name.
He is Arthur Thomas Andrew Lofthouse.”
