The internet wants the royal baby to become king for a 'Jungle Book' related reason

He would be not only King of the United Kingdom, but also King of the Swingers.

The new royal baby has officially been named, and it gave a lot of people Disney nostalgia.

With the naming of Prince Louis Arthur Charles we can now rest easy that Prince Albert is off the table. In addition, many online are hoping that lil' Louis (who is fifth in line) will one day ascend to the throne for a very specific reason.

The name was so reminiscent of the Jungle Book character that there was a distinct correlation in Google searches.

It should be mentioned that to be crowned king Louis' grandfather, father and two siblings would all have to either abdicate or meet an untimely end. Lends a slightly dark edge to the jokes... but, oh well.

Plus, it was pointed out by one Twitter user that culturally, the British people already have their Prince Louis.

France had 18 King Louis, (19 if you count Louis XIX, who was technically king for about 20 minutes) so we're well behind. On the other hand they no longer have a monarchy, so plenty of time to catch up.

Or -- hot-take -- one day could we have a King Shere-Khan?
