Alright, folks, gather around because this is a story you won’t want to miss. The world was on the edge of its seat waiting for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to reveal the name of their newborn son. When they finally did, it turned out to be Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. But here’s the twist — it seems like the royal couple might have been dropping hints way before their little bundle of joy arrived.
Let me take you back to October when Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, was on a trip to New Zealand. During a visit to Auckland, he met a young boy named Archie. Now, picture this: Harry meets this kid, looks at him, and says, “Archie, I like that name.” Not only that, but he even called over his wife, Meghan, to share the name with her. Was this a coincidence? Or was it a subtle hint of things to come?

Archie’s mom joked, “Imagine if they call it Archie.” To which Harry reportedly replied, “Come on Meghan, look at these guys.” He then introduced Archie and his friends to Meghan, even nodding approvingly when their names were mentioned.
