Archie Comics/Dan DeCarlo(LOS ANGELES) — It’s official: the first child for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry of the United Kingdom is called Archie. More accurately, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Still, the first name was enough for Archie comics, and fans of its CW spin-off, Riverdale.
“I’m baby,” the official Twitter account for the long-running comic book posted almost immediately after the news of the name broke.
“Archie, Earl of Riverdale,” tweeted Netflix Canada. The streaming service airs another Archie spin-off, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Fans were just as quick to sound off.
“MY DUCHESS IS A RIVERDALE FAN!!!!!!!!! COME ON, ARCHIE!!!” posted one.
“But Jughead still wears the crown,” another correctly pointed out.
Riverdale airs on Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
