Its Archie Harrison!! Mountbatten

[MissQuad]

Wow that's a different name for a Royal

I'm Archie the inventor
I know how things are done
I can make absolutely anything
Inventing things is fun.

Sorry just having a Balamory flashback. As you were.

It’s very 2019.

Congratulations to them..

Baby Sussex due to the parents titles isn't it. As with Cambridge for the brother.

I figured there would be an acceptable in American name (that would cause horror throughout the land). Only suprised is it wasn't the first name and there appears to be only two!!

Archie. Not keen. Sounds like my father when he sneezes!

Refreshing that they’ve not picked from the usual list. I quite like Archie.

Makes me think of Archie comics/ Riverdale especially if he's a redhead too.

Good think only his parents need to like the name. Jeez you lot are miserable

Harrison reminds me of how Sam from Emmerdale called his son Samson.

Yes! Me too.

Archie= “I’m Archie, the inventor”

Also Archie from emmerdale.

I think they'd changed the Act, so the monarch has a say about the marriages and names if the first 6 in the line of succession (used to be more)

(At least I think it's 6)

Fucking snobs out in force i see 😂😂😂😂😂

"having a Balamory flashback"

So was I - the pink house

Though perhaps I should have typed castle in that post??

ffs, archie, is it april 1st already ??

So basically, if you've a title, as in a HRH, you've no surname. But since Archie isn't a HRH, he'll be Mountbatten Windsor.

Ok got my head around it now!

Gorgeous photo from the Sussex Royals on Instagram of the 4 generations with the new member of the family. I wonder if it was deliberately black and white, given some people's unnecessary preoccupation with the colour of the baby's skin?

It was decided in 1960 by the Queen & the Privy Council, that male-line descendants of the Queen who don't have royal styles and titles would use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. Archie is a male-line descendant of the Queen, but he doesn't have a royal style & title yet & may never have, so he's Mountbatten-Windsor.

Its no less royal than Savannah Isla Mia or Lena

They like the name

And will he live in a pink house?

This reference popped into my head straight away

Great name!!! Love it

Well when you're a member of the royal family, you really don't have to worry about class do you?

I agree that those are also not great names but at least they are not nicknames.

I hate it

HRH is a style, not a title.

Prince Harry only got a title - his Dukedom - when he married. The eldest sons of Dukes often use their father's minor titles, so he couid be Earl of Dumbarton (aka Lord Archie), because the title is already there. His hypothetical younger sisters and brothers could also have the normal courtesy styles of the offspring of Dukes, eg Lady Penelope and Lord Parker.

Or they could decide not to use one at all.

Yeah, no. If Archie's short for Archibald that's slightly better, but I don't like it, or Harrison. But it's not my baby, so.
