Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is the firstborn son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed Archie in May 2019, one year after tying the knot.
The couple paid tribute to Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, with Archie’s name. Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll, from Scotland was one of her ancestors. Harrison means “son of Harry,” while Mountbatten was the surname of the late Prince Philip’s late uncle Louis Mountbatten.
Upon his birth, Archie became seventh in line for the British crown following his grandfather, Prince Charles, uncle Prince William, cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and his father.
After Harry and Meghan stepped back from their duties as senior royals in March 2020, the family relocated to California. Archie became a big brother to sister Lilibet “Lili” Diana in June 2021.
