She kept the world guessing for weeks over what she and Prince Harry would call their first born, and stunned royal watchers when the pair eventually revealed the baby's name was Archie.

Fans and experts alike praised the couple for shunning more 'traditional' monikers in favour of Archie, which means 'brave', and is often used as a shortened form of Archibold.

Now friends of the Duchess of Sussex have claimed the former actress took inspiration for the little boy's first name from a beloved family pet.

A former close friend of Meghan revealed that the ex-Suits actress and her mother Doria Ragland, 62, had shared a cat named Archie, himself named after the Archie comic the Duchess had once collected as a child.

I am 100% sure Harry just nodded his head when Meghan demanded they name their son after her cat.

I was named after my father’s favorite childhood pet dog.

Agreed. Doesn’t sound like royalty to me.

In all honesty, I think William and Kate’s kids will always be royal favorites. Not to mention, they’re cute.

LOL!!!

...himself named after the Archie comic the Duchess had once collected as a child.

That was my first thought on reading of the news, followed by, "Naw, she wouldn't do that to the poor child". Steeped in history she is, comic book characters, all of them, but for the Queen and Prince Phillip.

According to Newsweek, the baby’s name is not Archibald but Archie—like the Ohio State running back Archie Griffin, whose first name is apparently not Archibald.

I suppose Harry's son could have been named Rex. But that might have been pushing things.

Apparently Archie is a popular name in the UK and Scotland. Who knew?

The goofy Monarchy has finally jumped the shark. They will be in exile within twenty years as the Muzzies will have devoured their society.

Cat probably died due to her feeding it grapes.
For sure they are toxic for dogs. Vets say don’t feed cats grapes

And once again, the Queen looks at the situation and thinks, "Man, I'm glad I don't have to put up with this much longer."
