Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have finally graced us with the name of their new baby: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor!
In alignment with the couple’s wish to lead a “normal” life, they have declined to style their son’s name with a royal title.
Unlike his cousins, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children, Archie will not be a Lord or an Earl, but instead will be called Master Archie so that he may be raised as a private citizen.
While little Archie is seventh in line for the throne, he is not technically a prince; only William and Kate’s first child, Prince George, is.
That honor may be bestowed upon him by his great-grandmother, the Queen, as she did with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s other children: Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Baby Archie was introduced to the world during an interview with his parents on Wednesday afternoon. He was held in his father’s arms during the press photo-op, while proud mother, Meghan, looked on.
The Duchess told the media that motherhood is “magic. I have the two best guys in the world, so I’m really happy.”
Congrats to the happy couple, and welcome to the world Master Archie!
