Fun fact: Meghan Markle started her career with a sex scene on 90210, and if you haven't seen it you really should. Now the royal baby has been named after Nate Archibald, from American show Gossip Girl. It all makes sense now.

16. Sorry Betty, but your name just isn't the right vibe
The second royal baby will be Veronica if a girl, Jughead if a boy.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their first baby, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor on Monday 6th May 2019. He is seventh in line to the British throne.
Unfortunately though, some had to ruin the lighthearted fun by being racist. Danny Baker was fired from BBC Radio 5 Live after depicting the royal baby as a monkey. It was about time his career ended anyway, cya!!
