The child’s first name shares a connection to Diana’s ancestor, Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll. He lives from 1629 to 1685, and he was a Scottish Protestant executed for exposing Catholic James II.

Princess Diana’s sons continue to keep her legacy alive in their own way. Prince William even named his daughter after his mother.

In a joint interview after their engagement in 2017, Harry said his mother would have loved Meghan.

“They’d be thick as thieves, without question,” Harry said. “I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, so excited for me. But I think she would have been best friends with Meghan.”
