Baby names are a hard thing to settle on [1]. Even Meghan Markle [2] and Prince Harry [3] had a difficult time nailing down potential names for their 2-year-old son, Archie [4]. During a reading session for children at the Invictus Games [5] over the weekend, PA Media reported [6] that Markle told another parent who brought her son, named Harrison, to the Games that she and the Duke were torn between two names for Archie.
"[Meghan] was like 'Harrison, that's Archie's middle name,' and Mandy was like 'Yeah, I know,'" nursing officer Sherry McBain said of her wife's conversation with the duchess. "They were just having a chat because Harry and Meghan couldn't decide between Archie and Harrison for the first name."
The Sussexes welcomed their baby boy [8] and first child together on May 6, 2019, naming him Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor [9]. The couple decided not to give him a royal title [10] to give him a chance at a normal upbringing in the US, but he may still be considered a prince [11] one day. He made his royal tour debut [12] in September 2019 and he's on big brother duty for his little sister, 10-month-old Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor [13].
Potential royal responsibilities aside, the duke only has one wish for his children's futures. "To grow up in a better world. To grow up in a fairer world, a safer world, a more equal world," Harry told Kindercorrespondent reporters [14] at the Invictus Games. "It's not going to be easy, but I will never, ever, ever rest until I as a parent have at least tried to make the world a better place for them. Because it is our responsibility that the world is the way that it is now. I don't think we should be bringing children into the world unless we are going to make that commitment to make it better for them."
