The Royal Baby Being Named Archie Has Inspired Some Hilarious ‘Riverdale’ Memes

Unless you live under an actual rock, you’ll be well aware that the royal baby has been born and the little bundle of joy now has a name.

Overnight Meghan Markle and Prince Harry revealed the full name of their new bub: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. It’s a bit of a tongue-twister.

With a quirky name like Archie, immediately all I can think about is that the seventh in line for the throne has the same name as a Riverdale character.

Is it possible Meghan and Harry are low-key Riverdale stans? It’s pretty unlikely but that hasn’t stopped people on Twitter making hilarious memes about it.

Here are some of our faves:

So……Prince Harry (w/ ginger hair) and Duchess Meghan (w/ freckles) named their son Archie. I just don’t understand how no one pointed out there was already a cartoon about this. pic.twitter.com/jTaG1WD1Kx

Can’t believe the superior Riverdale character was snubbed tho.

Someone’s a Riverdale fan. But why pick Archie over Jughead?? I think Jughead Mountbatten-Windsor would have been delightful! https://t.co/2lEZLnhVuS

If they name their next child Jughead, we'll know that they're definitely #Riverdale fans. #Archie #RoyalBaby
