Will Harry and Meghan take parental leave? Why doesn't Archie have a title? And what's with his last name?
Babies are cute. And everyone likes fussing over them. Just look at what happened when Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on May 6: pages and pages of newsprint were devoted to capturing every moment of his arrival. Now, after a flurry of attention from around the world, which he appears to have slept through, Archie is ensconced in his family’s new home, Frogmore Cottage, in a secluded spot on the estate that surrounds Windsor Castle.
We also know what Archie will be wearing—the family’s ornate christening gown. It’s an exact replica of the Spitalfields silk and Honiton lace gown commissioned by Queen Victoria for her eldest child’s baptism in 1841. All royal children were christened in the original until it became so fragile that Queen Elizabeth II had her personal dresser and stylist, Angela Kelly, make an exact copy in 2004.
Otherwise, it’s unlikely the public will get a peek at the littlest Windsor for months and months. We may get photos for Meghan’s birthday on Aug. 4 or Harry’s on Sept. 15. Or perhaps we will see him on video for the Queen’s Christmas Message. In that case, expect them to bring Archie. It’s now usual for royals with young children to base themselves somewhere while on a longer tour so they can go back to their children at the end of the day. In 2016, William and Kate used Government House in Victoria as Cambridge headquarters. So while they were touring British Columbia and Yukon, their children, George and Charlotte, were having fun on the West Coast with their nanny.
No one is naive enough to assume one photo or one biracial person marrying the Queen’s grandson can cure the ills of the world. Since her engagement, Meghan has been subjected to an extraordinary amount of racist attacks and online hatred.
