UPDATED: Prince Harry and Meghan's royal newborn is no prince, yet
On Monday, a glowing Prince Harry shared news that his wife Meghan had given birth to a healthy baby boy earlier that day. Although the couple is “still thinking” about what they will name their son, there is already keen interest in the little boy and how his famous parents plan to raise him.
“If the Queen was going to intervene, she would have done so before the birth,” he explained to CTVNews.ca during a telephone interview on Tuesday. While the Duke and Duchess appear to be taking their time in deciding on a first name, the baby is expected to have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor with the title Earl of Dumbarton.It’s believed the newborn will be called the Earl of Dumbarton because the first son of a duke is allowed to have one of his father’s lesser titles as a courtesy. In addition to a dukedom, the Queen bestowed Prince Harry with the title of Earl of Dumbarton when he wed Meghan nearly a year ago.
Because he’s already far down the line of succession, the child is expected to have more independence in determining his future.
