The name was inspired from his friend who is a major
Last week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex i.e. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their newborn son and have named him as Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
People have been wondering what inspired the new parents to keep this name. Prince Harry revealed the reason. According to The Sun, the name was inspired byPrince Harry’s friend Major Tom Archer-Burton, known to pals as Archie and whom Harry calls his “rock.
Prince Harry owes him for getting him permission to serve on the front lines in Afghanistan in 2008, which made him the first royal deployed since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew helicopters in the Falklands in 1982.
Archie has always been close to Prince Harry and has met almost the entire Royal family. He was also a guest at Prince William’s wedding with Kate Middleton and Prince Harry’s wedding with Meghan Markle.
Archie is a father of three and was awarded a Long Service & Good Conduct Medal last year. “I’m delighted that Harry has named his son after someone who played such an important role in his life”, said the Royal editor of The Sun, Duncan Larcombe.
Yesterday, it was Meghan Markle’s first Mothers’ Day. Her son was born on Monday. To commemorate the day, she posted a picture on the royal Instagram handle.
