Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their first born on Monday, May 6, and many are delighted with the news. Just a few days after the baby was born, there were reports that Her Majesty shares a strange similarity with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son.
A report from Express noted that Baby Sussex is in the seventh line to the throne, meaning it's unlikely for him that he'll become a King. However, the then-Princess Elizabeth was never thought she would become the Queen one day since she was not in the direct line of succession.
Queen Elizabeth was the daughter of George VI, and her father is younger than her uncle Edward VIII. That means Her Majesty was the daughter of a second-born royal son, so it is expected that Edward VIII will be the King - and he did. However, he was only a King for a short period and decided to abdicate in favor of George VI.
Edward VIII has no children. Thus, he didn't have any direct heirs to the throne. That's why when George VI becomes the King, his oldest child - Queen Elizabeth - becomes the second line in the throne. Hence, the only way for Baby Sussex to become a King someday is when his father's eldest brother, Prince William, would choose to abdicate from the throne as well.
But then, since the Duke of Cambridge has three children, Markle and Prince Harry's son will not automatically be the next in line in the order of succession. Because of this, Baby Sussex will unlikely to become the King unless Prince William and his three children decided to abdicate. Since he isn't the direct heir to the throne, he won't be called Prince - like his cousins Prince George and Prince Louis.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday afternoon, Markle and Prince Harry introduced their son to the world. The Duke carries their baby in his arm, who's wearing a white knit cap and wrapped in a cream-colored blanket. When asked about motherhood, the Duchess said it's like a "magic," and she's "happy" because she now has two guys in her life.
Also, Queen Elizabeth and Markle's mother Doria Ragland already met Baby Sussex, while Markle shared during the interview that they bumped into Prince Philip at the Windsor Castle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also revealed the name of their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and they reportedly chose not to use a title for him.
But since he is the firstborn of a duke, he can use Prince Harry's subsidiary titles - Earl of Dumbarton or Lord Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. However, he will reportedly be called Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
