Harry and Meghan welcomed their firstborn on 6 May 2019 at The Portland Hospital in London. The royal youngster, who has a baby sister named Lilibet, is the eighth great-grandchild of the Queen and is seventh in line to the British throne.
During the Invictus Games in The Netherlands last month, Meghan confessed that she and Harry were torn over what to call their firstborn – whether they choose Archie or Harrison, which they eventually used for his middle name.
