Not a prince! Archie Harrison, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s newborn son, will not have a royal title.
“As we expected, Harry and Meghan [have] forgone a courtesy title for their child. All part of giving him as normal a life as possible,” royal commentator Omid Scobie tweeted on Wednesday, May 8.
A source previously told Us Weekly exclusively that the Duke, 34, and Duchess, 37, of Sussex would not call their son a prince because they want to “live a quiet life.” (Queen Elizabeth II typically grants titles to members of the British royal family.)
Harry and Meghan welcomed their first child on Monday, May 6, and introduced him to the world on Wednesday in St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle in England. Hours later, they announced Archie’s name.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor,” the couple wrote on Instagram. “This afternoon Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle. The Duke of Edinburgh [Prince Philip] and the duchess’ mother [Doria Ragland] were also present for this special occasion.”
