The Brit version (on which AITF is based) is called Till Death Us Do Part. The lead character is named Alf Garnett. Maybe Alfred wouldn’t have been a bad alternate name . . .

I doubt it. Archie, thanks to All in the Family, is a stereotyped name in the US for racist old white guys. Meghan would never have suggested it. But to the English, Archibald is a storied name.

Per the article: Archie is a boy’s name of German origin... Say no more.

Well, the Windsors are related to the Hohenzollerns. All European royalty is borderline incestuous (Hapsburgs, Romanovs, Hohenzollerns all intermarried).

And how did that work out for them?
