The second article, about the GoT character, is a big nothing burger:
> With fears it could affect her daughter’s future travel, the family sought legal advice over the passport rejection.
> They found while there is a trademark for Game of Thrones, it does not apply to a person’s name.
> The family then sent that information back to the Passport Office to clear up the issue.
> The Passport Office has since apologised to Lucy and her family, labelling the rejection a “mistake” and claimed there was a misunderstanding between guidance staff.
- CRConrad 2y agoThat bit about trademarks not applying to people’s names is probably universal, and the staff who handled the case in TFA screwed up in the same way the ones in the Khaleesi case originally did and alter corrected themselves in the same way. So the biggest nothingburger here is likely to be... The paper's sly implication that it was their email that did it for young Skywalker.
