According to a new bombshell book about the Duke and Duchess of Excess, little Archie was offered a title. But his parents rejected it out of hand for a, there is no other way to put it, a DUMB reason.
Royal Family News – The Markle’s Were Offered A Title
In the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, the author states that, “Just after the birth, Thomas Woodcock, the Garter at Arms, called to discuss Archie’s title.”
What would Archie Mountbatten-Windsor have been called? He apparently would have received the title Earl of Dumbarton. But his thirsty and mindboggling parents rejected the respected title, “they reportedly weren’t huge fans of the idea.”
That sounds like a perfectly good title so why wasn’t it good enough for the Markle’s?

Royal Family News – Meghan Rejected A Perfectly Good Title
A source told The Telegraph: “They didn’t like the idea of Archie being called the Earl of Dumbarton because it began with the word ‘dumb’ [and] they were worried about how that might look.” Actually, it would look fine, it is you, Harry and Meghan, who look dumb based on the cockamamy ideas your noodles come up with.
Author Tom Bower has spilled the tea about how Meghan reacted when offered a title for her son, one she rejected, than whined to Oprah that her son has no title and it’s all the mean in-laws’ fault.
Bower wrote, “Her son, explained Woodcock, would automatically inherit the title Lord Dumbarton, since Harry, on marrying Meghan, was made Earl of Dumbarton. Meghan had also automatically become the Countess of Dumbarton. ‘Hell no,’ exclaimed Meghan. ‘No son of mine is going to be called Dumb.’” If true, that is Meghan keeping it classy and ignorant all at the same time, who says she has no talent?

Royal Family News – Meghan Did Not Want This Title
And in contrast to that she has said, “Meghan also apparently preferred Archie to be known by his name, rather than by a title.”
Bower writes, “With Harry’s agreement, the Palace also disclosed that the Sussexes had decided that Archie should not be a prince. The couple, said Sara Latham [a publicist for the Sussexes at the time], did not want to be bound by convention or history. Meghan wanted her son to be plain ‘Mister Archie’ and not bear the title of a royal. They wanted to protect Archie’s privacy. The Sussexes knew that, under British law, Archie would automatically become a prince after the Queen died unless Charles changed the rules.”
