Royal Baby Archie May Not Have a Royal Title, After All. Here’s Why That’s Not Surprising

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, born Monday, May 6, is entitled to be the Earl of Dumbarton. But when Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex finally announced the royal baby's name on Wednesday, there was no honorary title in sight.

Archie, who was first introduced to the public Wednesday, is technically supposed to take on his father's earldom, according to Marlene Koenig, an author and expert on British and European royalty.
