Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor (2019)

He is seventh in the line of succession to the British throne.

Birth
Archie Mountbatten-Windsor is the son of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He was born at 05:26 BST (04:26 UTC) on 6 May 2019. His father described him as "a bit overdue". The place of birth has not been disclosed. The media speculate that he was born either at the couple's home (Frogmore Cottage) or at the Portland Hospital in London. Several landmarks were illuminated in different colours to mark the birth, including Niagara Falls, the CN Tower and the London Eye. His name was announced on 8 May 2019.

Mountbatten-Windsor is descended from the British royal family on his father's side and from the American working class on his mother's side. According to The New York Times and The Telegraph, he is the first half-American and the first biracial baby in the history of the British monarchy. He is a citizen of the United Kingdom as well as of the United States.

Title and succession
A great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II, Mountbatten-Windsor is seventh in the line of succession to the British throne, behind his father. He is also heir apparent to his father's Dukedom of Sussex, Earldom of Dumbarton and Barony of Kilkeel.

As the Duke of Sussex is not the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, his son is not automatically a British prince or entitled to the style "Royal Highness". His parents had the option of using one of Prince Harry's subsidiary titles, such as Earl of Dumbarton, as a courtesy title – a custom often used for a peer's heir apparent. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided that he would be simply styled as Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. This decision is in line with his parents' wish that he grows up as a private citizen.
