It is no secret that Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle is a pet-lover, but could her affection for her furry friends run much deeper than originally thought?
Royal watchers are buzzing over the rumour that Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex possibly named her first son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor after her beloved pet cat. According to The Sun, a former friend of Meghan Markle’s shared that she once had a cat named Archie, who died while the Duchess was in school in Illinois.
“Doria rescued Archie and he became an important part of the household. Markle loved playing with him and she was always talking about him to her friends,” the former close friend shared. “It’s no surprise she named her new baby Archie. She loved that cat.”
Markle was so fond of the kitten, she frequently fed him frozen grapes as a treat. The friend said this also led to the cat’s weight gain. But who doesn’t like a fat cat?
As for the origins of Archie the cat’s name, it is believed that he was actually named after the comic book character.
