Prince Harry and Meghan Markle [1] have welcomed their first child! On May 6, Meghan gave birth to a baby boy weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz. A few days later, the couple gave the first look [2] at their bundle of joy before revealing that his full name is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor [3]. Now that we put a name to that cute face, our next question is: what will Archie's title be?

Reports suggest that, the baby will not be a prince or have an HRH title [4]. Instead, the baby boy will simply be called Master Archie. Queen Elizabeth II could offer a title [5] for Harry and Meghan's child, and it's possible she already has, however the final decision on whether to accept lies with the parents. "It will be up to Harry and Meghan to decide if that's what they want for their children," Good Morning America correspondent Victoria Murphy previously explained. Until then, we'll just be looking at all the sweet glimpses we've gotten of baby Archie!
