Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announcement today that they’ve named their newborn son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. They broke the news on their Instagram account, @SussexRoyal. As Megan and Prince Harry introduced their baby to the world, Meghan said: “He has the sweetest temperament, he’s really calm. He’s been the dream.” “I’m just over the moon,” Prince Harry said. They made the announcement after the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh met their eighth and newest great-grandchild for the first time at Windsor Castle.
Baby Archie was born at 5:26 a.m. London time on Monday and weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces (3.2kg), making him lighter than each of his cousins.Prince George was 8lb 6oz (3.8kg) when he was born in July 2013. His sister Princess Charlotte was 8lbs 3oz (3.7kg) when she arrived in May 2015, while their younger brother Prince Louis weighed 8lb 7oz (3.8kg) when he was born in April last year. The average weight of a baby in the UK is about 7lb 7oz (3.4kg). Prince Harry said he was “incredibly proud” of his wife, and while their son was a little bit overdue, it had given the royal couple more time to contemplate names.” Harry and Meghan have chosen not to use a title for their first born. As the first born son of a duke, Archie could have become Earl of Dumbarton (one of Prince Harry’s titles), or Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, but instead he will simply be Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
