However, the Queen ruled that all William and Duchess Catherine’s children carry HRH titles so they too would be named Princes or Princesses. It is not yet known whether a similar ruling has been made for Harry and Meghan’s children.
I read that Harry and Meghan wanted him to just have the courtesy title Master if something had to be used (like Princess Anne's children).
If they don't want him to have the title Prince (assuming the Queen might want it) there's always the titles for sons of hereditary Dules or Royal Dukes such as Earl or Viscount or Lord etc.

Master is not even a courtesy title. It is the usual title for a male child of no rank and will be used until he is an adult and becomes Mr. Even a garbo's son is called Master.
I can't imagine a Prince Archie....or an Archie, Viscount whaterver.
I think they could have named the boy 'Archibald Harry' and just told everyone he would be known as Archie. After all, that's what they did with Harry. We were told, 'He's been called Henry, to be known as Harry'. What the?????
Obviously they like Archie though. And Harrison means son of Harry.
Archie is very trendy at the moment. I don't know why, it isn't my fav, but each generation to its own.
I think it's a real statement though, that the boy has been given trendy rather than regal, only 2 names, not 3 or 4, and has been named after his father as his second name. He is a long, long way behind in the line to become king so basically it doesn't matter. Still, I think it's a tad too informal, given his likely roles in life. An official Archibald "Archie" might have worked better.
It gave me a bit of a smile when I heard, brought back memories. When my 1st grandchild was expected 5 years ago, one of my daughters said to the pregnant daughter, "Got just the name for you-Archie. That would go beautifully with your surname, wouldn't it. Archie Fall-ar-chee. And we all laughed. That's not the actual spelling of the name but how it is pronounced as it is of italian background.
It turned out to be a girl anyway.
