Mountbatten-Windsor is a combination of
Prince Philip and

Unlike his cousins George, Charlotte and Louis, Archie isn’t given a royal title at birth. Queen Elizabeth could have granted him one, but it seems his parents have decided not to go that path. When Prince Charles becomes king, Archie will be given the title prince, but he or his parents might decide not to use it.
