1. That is just beautiful!

What a great loving family.

Welcome to the world, Archie!

[mfcorey1]

36. The name, Archie, in respect to the people of Scotland where Archibald

is a common name. Harrison means "son of Harry" and that is why his name is chosen.

[Aristus]

2. I hope Prince Phillip is not smiling because he's thinking of unpleasant nicknames

for a multi-racial child. His ethnic-diversity tolerance track record is not a good one.

[NewDayOranges]

3. Maybe he's evolved...

Besides, Queen Elizabeth's great-great-great-great Grandmother, Queen Sofi Charlotte was part Black.

Chances are Prince Phillip is also part Black ad he and the Queen ate related but blood...

[HipChick]

5. As one gets nearer to the end of his life...

One would hope he has evolved...

[JI7]

9. he is smiling

[StarfishSaver]

23. Maybe he's smiling because he's looking at his new great-grandson

Yes, I think I'll go with the most obvious explanation.

[elleng]

4. It is BEAUTIFUL!

[Lucinda]

6. KNR

[CatMor]

7. Great picture ... the look of love on everyones faces ...

love the fact Archie is half American.

[Aristus]

11. So was Winston Churchill.

Maybe he'll grow up to do similarly great things. Only, you know, without the racism.

[CatMor]

19. Yes, I read her biography ..

she was quite the woman, beautiful too.

[Poiuyt]

37. Winston Churchill was a woman?

[CatMor]

38. I meant his mother was American ...

I should have been more clear.

[Blue_playwright]

8. I love it, too. Not sure about the name... nt

[MyOwnPeace]

10. Oh, come on!

Was I not the only one to think of "Archie Bunker?"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. I thought Archie comics. And she shouldn't wear white..washes her out.

[lunatica]

25. Giving birth can wash you up too

I think she looks very good after giving birth.

[demmiblue]

26. She is stunning in white:

[demtenjeep]

42. I LOVE that she isn't concerned about her post baby bump

She is showing that she is real and it is normal

[Crunchy Frog]

20. No. That's what popped into my head too.

[dflprincess]

44. I'll 'fess up

I keep hearing Edith say "Archie".

I also thought of Archie in the comics - I hope the baby doesn't have red hair.

That said, I do love the picture posted - the joy the little guy is bringing everyone is obvious.

[LanternWaste]

18. Right... because 'blue playwright' is much more routine, and a part of the natural order.

[Blue_playwright]

43. Lol! A different side of the fictional character...

On the creation side instead.

I am big on traditional names. 🤷🏻?♀️ My own real name is a nickname, and I’d love to have a “full” name for business and playbills.

[irisblue]

12. Like many other great grandmothers...a cardigan.

[MicaelS]

13. Harry is definitely Phillip's grandson.

Look at their noses.

[RVN VET71]

14. I know it's a loooong shot, but the vey possibility of a "King Archie"

makes me smile.

[RVN VET71]

16. Also, parting observation

Meghan is obviously proud and happy, and Harry is showing a restrained pride, allowing the duchess to take center stage with the little one. Good for them both.

The Queen, though, seems honestly delighted to see little Archie, her newest (and bloody best!) great-grandchild. Prince Philip, well, he's happy, but that may be because Archie is not only cute as a button but also, you know, not dark hued.

[StarfishSaver]

24. Or maybe just because he's his cute-as-a-button new great-grandson

[Autumn]

28. It's well known that Harry is her favorite grandchild. I imagine Archie will have a special

place in her heart.

[mcar]

17. Her Maj looks delighted

Very sweet.

[TNNurse]

21. I thought of Archie Leach

the character John Cleese played in A Fish Called Wanda. Archibald Leach was Carey Grant's real name.

[Staph]

22. Granny Liz and Grandma Doria

both look like their fingers are itching to grab that little cutie and smoosh his little cheeks!

[appalachiablue]

27. Sweet baby & parents, but the name not so good, not even Archibald.

As in Archibald Cox, Archibald Leach (Cary Grant). Like Archie Bunker, Archie & Veronica comics.

Like Joey, not Joseph; Sadie or Dolly.

[HipChick]

32. Archie is very popular...18th on the list in the UK

in 2015

[appalachiablue]

33. I saw that it's popular lately. It'll grow on me, need time :-

Love these children of Diana.

(US Archie Bunker the bigot is the worst..)

Old Philip looks charmed, he should soften up after his ways- straying in mid life, long time racist/gaff prone, gave Chas. the ultimatum to marry. Nasty treatment and threats to Diana. Brought misery to many).

[HipChick]

34. Yes, I had the same initial reaction...then when I went back to recall

growing up in England..there were a ton of Archie's....they could have gone with Nigel or Ian...

[appalachiablue]

35. Truly- Nigel, Ian, James, Albert & many other more traditional names.

I went to school in England for a bit, at Cambridge, a very happy experience. Been back several times

Little use for Phil and Chas. though they've changed some since Diana, maybe.

[HipChick]

40. Grew up and went to school there...moving back next perhaps..

I'll take my chances with Brexit V another 4yrs of Trump

[appalachiablue]

47. Good for you & some think there could be hope for Brexit. What

areas are you fond of? I saw plenty of London, and major sites but would love to return to see the South, esp. Dorset and Somerset, the old stomping grounds of my forefathers.

[HipChick]

48. Love London, but miss the countryside

so Cornwall, or Dorset for me..

[dflprincess]

45. "All in the Family" was based on a British tv show "Til Death Do Us Part"

who had a lead character just like Archie Bunker.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till_Death_Us_Do_Part

[appalachiablue]

46. Never knew that, tx. Negative assns. will diminsih over time, we hope!

[lunatica]

29. Harry looks entranced

Like he can’t get over the tiny miracle is his baby. It’s probably a really profound and life altering moment for him. Like his mind is being blown and his entire universe has become his son in that instant.

[Ohiogal]

30. Sweet picture

All eyes on the little one!

[no_hypocrisy]

31. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the happiest Harry's been since his mother died.

He deserves his share of happiness.

[lapucelle]

39. That's a beautiful picture.

Some things are universal.

[demtenjeep]

41. the Queen loves

her great grandbabies
