She was urged to contact Warner Bros Entertainment UK Ltd — and had to halt plans for a £2,000 holiday to Disneyland next month.

But The Sun approached the Home Office, which runs the Passport Office, and last night it said a mistake had been made.

A spokeswoman said: “We can confirm the application is being processed and apologise for the delay.”

Single mum Lucy, 38, of Swindon, Wilts, said: “Thanks, Sun. I’m so happy. It’s her dream to go to Disneyland.”

Khaleesi, or queen, was the title given to Emilia Clarke’s character Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO hit.

Lucy added: “I just loved the name.

“I call her Cally for short but she always introduces herself as Khaleesi Holloway Queen of Dragons.
