Prince Harry and Meghan Markle found a way to honor Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana, in their newborn son’s name.

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Monday, and the couple revealed his name to the public two days later. His name is very significant to his royal ancestry.

His surname, Mountbatten-Windsor, is the name of all descendants of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. His middle name, Harrison, literally means “son of Harry.”

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

Princess Diana’s sons continue to keep her legacy alive in their 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.
