So which Archie - real or fictional - inspired #BabySussex's name?

His close friend Roderick Mann recorded a conversation in which Grant told him:"When I arrived in Hollywood the studio said: 'Archie just doesn't sound right in America.' I said: 'It doesn't sound particularly right in Britain either.'"

Those who cling to the Cary Grant conspiracy maintain that Meghan is paying homage to the late great Grant by bringing his real name back into vogue; that she is making a statement about true nobility of character, the kind that can outshine any disadvantages that come with a name.

Punters betting on Andrews as the inspiration for Archie of Frogmore Cottage are convinced that the red hair shared by the freckle-faced cartoon character and the carrot-topped Prince Harry is a dead giveaway. Others remain unconvinced. Then there's the rank outsider. Archie Bunker, also a fictional character, was brought to irascible life by US actor Carroll O'Connor in the 1970s US TV sitcom. The show might have ended its run before Meghan was born but its leading curmudgeon left a legacy of what would later become known as memes.
