Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced the name they’ve chosen for their royal baby and it is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
The royal couple shared the big news on their official Instagram account, where they posted a photo with the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.
They captioned the photo:
”The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child:
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor
This afternoon Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle. The Duke of Edinburgh and The Duchess’ mother were also present for this special occasion.”
Soon after the royal couple announced they were expecting their first child back in October, British oddsmakers began predicting the Royal baby name.
After the birth of their son on Monday, the top pick was Arthur.
Coming in second for name predictions is James, which is followed by Philip (for great-grandfather Prince Philip) and Albert.
According to People, during the couple’s royal tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand in October, 12-year-old student Charlie Wolf tried to grill Meghan and Harry on a name for the royal baby.
Meghan continued to take name suggestions throughout her pregnancy, including one from a 7-year-old girl named Megan Dudley during the couple’s January visit to Birkenhead.
