Analysis: Were Prince Harry and Meghan inspired by 'Riverdale' in naming their son Archie?
He's baby. By Sonia Rao Sonia Rao Pop culture reporter Email Bio Follow May 8 at 4:12 PM Before the latest royal baby was born on Monday, a British tabloid speculated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would choose to name their first child something “UNUSUAL” that “UNIFIES the US and UK,” presumably as a nod to their respective heritages.
So, assuming Harry and Meghan didn’t just swipe their nephew’s pet name, where does the name Archie come from? It doesn’t seem to be pulled from Harry’s Mountbatten-Windsor lineage or from Meghan’s immediate family, so allow us to humbly suggest another option: Archie Andrews — who, along with Harry, is one of the most famous redheads, fictional or otherwise, to ever exist.
The official Archie Comics account acknowledged its royal namesake on Wednesday by tweeting “i’m baby,” arguably the best use of the meaningless meme yet.— Archie Comics May 8, 2019 If you are at all acquainted with the youths of today, you’ve probably noticed an uptick in chitchat about Archie and his friends over the past couple years.
— RobertoAguirreSacasa May 8, 2019 But what about the other famous Archies, you ask? It’s unlikely the Sussexes would want to honor the bigoted Archie Bunker of “All in the Family,” no matter how much he evolved. And given Meghan’s status as the most notable part of USA’s “Suits,” we’re leaning more pop culture than sports.
