Hey there! Let me tell you a story about one of the cutest royal moments that unfolded when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their baby boy, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. You might have been on the edge of your seat waiting for the big reveal, but guess what? This adorable couple actually dropped hints about the name way before the little one arrived. Yep, they were giving us clues, and we were all just waiting to see if we’d catch on.
It all went down during their trip to New Zealand back in October. Prince Harry, the charming Duke of Sussex at 34, met a young boy named Archie in Auckland. Now, here’s the kicker: Harry said, “Archie, I like that name.” Not only did he say it aloud, but he also called over his wife, Meghan, who was 37 at the time, to share the name with her. It was like they were planting little seeds of foreshadowing right there in front of everyone.
The young lad whose full name is Archie Somerville-Ryan recounted the whole encounter to Channel 5 News. He mentioned that Harry said something along the lines of, “I like that name,” while addressing Meghan. The boy continued, “My mom joked, ‘Imagine if they call it Archie.’ Harry then said, ‘Come on Meghan, look at these guys.’ He even introduced our names to Meghan and seemed to nod approvingly when we were mentioned.”
