Although he IS a prince, he won't have the title of Prince unless the Queen does a special decree. StarfishSaver May 2019 #6

You're right. I heard he might even be an earl, however that works. brush May 2019 #7

I think his status will be an Earl but his title would be Lord StarfishSaver May 2019 #12

He could be an Earl or a Lord, but they have decided against a title for some reason.

And Archie, Archibald Alec Leach? AKA Cary Grant?

And I did not realize until rewatching my Fringe DVDs last week, Markle played Agent Jessup in Season 2. I liked that character.

Absolutely unplanned - at the time the younger Harrison was named, the second (or maybe third) cousins who were the parents did not know about the first Harrison.

At least the two boys do not have the same surname!
