Meet Archie

Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was introduced to the world in a very controlled media session at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. 

Archie was born at London's Portland Hospital on Monday morning and shortly thereafter was taken to his parents' home Frogmore Cottage, Windsor. Great-grandparents the Queen and Prince Philip also met the baby during the photo opportunity.

As a cousin of the Cambridge children, Archie will no doubt feature in this blog from time to time in the coming years. Funnily enough, Prince George called himself Archie when he was playing in public a few months ago. From express.co.uk:

In January, the five-year-old prince was out walking near a stream in Berkshire with Princess Charlotte, four, and their grandmother Carole Middleton, 64, when they bumped into a dog walker. 
The unnamed woman said the trio were accompanied by a royal protection officer who asked her not to take a photo. 
And when George made a beeline for her dog and began to stroke it she decided to strike up a conversation with the third in line to the throne. 
She told the Sun: “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. 
“To my astonishment he said ‘I’m called Archie’ with a big smile on his face. 
“I don’t know why he calls himself Archie but kids often play with their names and I think it’s lovely.”
