Just hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed their newborn son to the world, the child’s name has been announced.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have named their child Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the couple revealed via Instagram.

The Queen was told of the child’s name when she met him for the first time today, following Meghan and Harry’s two-minute interview at Windsor Castle.

Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother, and the Duke of Edinburgh were also present during the meeting with the Queen.

The seventh-in-line to the throne, who was born at 05:26am on 6 May 2019, hasn’t yet had his title revealed.

His nick name can be ‘’Ack Ack’’. ‘’Archie’’ and ‘’Ack Ack’’ are what British fighter and bomber pilots used to call anti-aircraft fire.

So far. He may not want the assigned gender. Just sayin’

Too bad he can’t keep his mom’s maiden name.
I’d love to meet someone named Archie Markle.

Will Percy make a comeback? I’ll bet there are already lots of black Ulysses.

SO PRECIOUS! And I like the name LoL.

The Windsors are of German descent.

[RummyChick]

do you know why George came up with being called Archie?

The Queen did have to approve Master Archie’s name but, yes, Markle is a disrupter. I believe she did this on purpose.

Named him after Cary Grant.

Archie Aretha Windsor would have given IT a lot of future options.

Percy may actually go in the opposite direction:

Percy Tyrone Sledge died last year, but a more recent singer is known (I presume by stage name) as Percival.

But I’m going to confess to my ignorance as to why the Ulysseses, if you will.

His name was Richard Mountbatten know as Dickie. Killed by IRA bomb in about 1980.

I wonder if he’ll grow up and call his Grandfather a “Meathead?”

Prince Archie.Excellent choice!

So you are what, 119,234th in the succession? More if you add all the scullery births.

Be careful with that kind of remark
