Meet Baby Archie!

Yes, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son finally has a name - Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor!

The little Prince, who was born on May 6, 2019, was introduced to the world two days after his birth but at his first photo call, his name wasn't revealed. 

But now, after meeting his great-grandma, Queen Elizabeth - the royal couple were allowed to reveal his name to the world.

Alexander, James and Arthur were the favourite names at the UK TAB as royal fans placed their bets on what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would call their son.

Alexander led the odds, while there was a rush of bets after the birth placed on Spencer, in honour of Harry’s mother Diana, Princess of Wales, whose maiden name was Spencer.

As he announced the birth at Windsor, the Duke added: ‘Still thinking about names. The baby is a little bit overdue, so we’ve had a little bit of time to think about it.’

Alexander, James, Albert, Freddie, Philip, Donald, Boris, Apple and even Baxter were all in the running for the royal name according to the bookies.

But now we know it's Archie, all speculation can stop. 

 The couple also revealed new photos of little Archie, including one of him with the Queen.
