Haha, me too! I loved them! Their names were on plaques beside each stall. I think I saw "Sir John" and "George"HI:
Sorry but the black horse in the background/stable photobombed Harry. Once I saw the (horses) teeth, I didn't see or hear anything else

He is so adorable..I watched the clip on the Today Show this morning...
Oooh, bit too Russian, maybe?
Yeah, Archie..... Any clues where it might come from?
I'm 100% with you regarding the ridiculous expectations.Really cute baby and I loved how normally and informal they were compared to poor Kate who is expected to parade on the steps of the hospital for a sea of media hours after giving birth. I really feel sorry for them because of the media/public expectations on these wonderful young women in times like this.
The interesting aspect to the name, in my opinion, is that it has no royal antecedent. I believe that prior to this, all names of the Queen's grandchildren had to be names that had been used previously in the Royal Family. I may not be up to date and some other modern royal(s) may have been able to use a name without a royal antecedent before Prince Harry did, but it would be a relatively new occurrence. The Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson wanted to name a daughter "Annabelle" and the Queen refused her consent. She gave them a list of approved name for princesses from which they chose "Beatrix" and "Eugenie".
I hadn't read that about Andrew and Sarah choosing a name off a list from the queen.
I did recently (like, in the last two days) read that both Eugenie and Zara are names that hadn't been used before.

funny !I don’t like the name Archie at all, I thought they were going for a non traditional name. My friend has a dog called Archie!
and I've been saying Meghan all wrong !@AGBF
Thank you for all that information! It's really interesting.
On another note, I've come to love the name Eugenie. I had no idea how it was pronounced (I thought you-GEE-ee, and since I had an uncle Eugene, I get that makes sense.) But it's YOU-jen-ee. I learned that on the Today show right before Princess Eugenie was married. I find it a beautiful name.
