Hal was the nickname Henry V had before he became the hero of Agincourt. But in choosing the name, Cumberbatch could also be acknowledging his affection for fellow screen star Tom Hiddleston.

The pair starred together in 2012 in The Hollow Crown, an amalgamation of Shakespeare’s history plays in which Cumberbatch played Richard III and Hiddleston took the role of Hal.

They have been close pals ever since meeting on the set of Steven Spielberg’s film War Horse in 2010.

‘We became friends for life,’ Hiddleston has said.

Sophie and the Sherlock star, 40, welcomed their son Christopher in June 2015, just a few months after their Valentine's Day wedding.

Benedict has previously said he hoped to add to his brood, joking he might 'go for a (Cumber)batch of boys.'
