Meghan Markle and Prince Harry named Archie after army hero
Archie’s most important role in Harry’s life came at the lowest moment in the Prince’s military career — when he was told at the eleventh hour that he could not serve his country in Iraq.
As one commentator at the time remarked: “Archer-Burton is the only man capable of telling Lt Wales to do press-ups or stand on one leg for as long as he feels necessary.” “Archie convinced Harry to stay in the Army and I’m delighted that Harry has named his son after someone who played such an important role in his life.
Known as Officer Cadet Wales, in 2007 he was due to be deployed in Iraq before the then head of the British Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, announced it would not go ahead over concerns Harry would be regarded as a high-value target. He went on: “I’ve never seen the Queen smiling like the way she’s been smiling for the last few days. It’s magnificent.”Meghan may have also agreed the name — which means 'brave' — in memory of her mother's beloved rescue cat
