Why Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Accused Of Stealing Prince George’s ‘Nickname’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being accused of stealing Prince George’s nickname with the name they chose for their son. The royal couple has named their firstborn, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Earlier this year, a dog walker claimed that she saw Prince George and Princess Charlotte playing outdoors near their grandparents Carole and Michael Middleton’s home in Berkshire while being accompanied by their nanny. The dogwalker approached Prince George and struck up a conversation with him.

When the dog walker asked Prince George what his name was, he said that he’s called Archie. The dog walker didn’t know if the future king was instructed to give royal watchers a fake name for his own protection. However, it is also possible that Prince George just made up a name at that moment.

“I was asked by a police member not to take a photo of the children, which I didn’t, but George started stroking my dog,” she said. “Just to be friendly, I engaged in a bit of small talk and I asked George what his name was, even though obviously I knew it,” she added.

Months later, Meghan and Prince Harry stepped out of Windsor Castle to introduce their son to the world. They revealed that they have decided to call him Archie Harrison. The Harrison simply means son of Harry, but the first name Archie is being linked to Prince George’s nickname.

As of late, it is still unclear whether or not the Duke and Duchess of Sussex previously told Prince George the name they decided on that’s why the young boy mentioned it during his outing. However, there are also some rumors suggesting that Archie is inspired by the “Riverdale” character Archie Andrews, who has red hair.

Since Prince Harry has red hair, it is possible that his son would also grow up to have one. When the Duke of Sussex was much younger, his hair appeared to be as blonde as his older brother’s. But as he got older, red shades on his curly hair became more evident.

Meghan and Prince Harry welcomed Archie Harrison on Monday at 5:26 a.m. at the Portland Hospital in London.
