The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's unconventional name choice has raised eyebrows, while others were puzzled by the double-barrelled surname used by the Queen's descendants since 1960.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed their newborn baby boy -- Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor -- to the world Wednesday.
But in fact all the Queen's descendants since 1960, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince or Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor. In 2018, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate, named their third-born child Louis in remembrance of Prince Charles' much-loved great-uncle.
The name change from house Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was a result of anti-German sentiment during the First World War. The name Windsor was adopted after the castle of the same name.
