Of a royal baby called Archie, and a tough time finding a Poet Laureate

Deccan Chronicle  

And he is called Archie! So that may make the plebian “Archie” sound a little more regal; but given the amount of conversation around the name — it must have been a shock for the bookies and the royal-obsessed Brits who were expecting a more dignified “Arthur” of perhaps “Alfred”. That sounds very bizarre — and a kinder, more probable explanation could be that she wanted an American name, and the comic book character, Archie, is a redhead, just like Harry. The more interesting thing is that one week later “Archie” had met the Queen, his great grandmother — but still has to be introduced to his grandparents, Prince Charles and Camilla. It would have been a first for the post, though, — that someone from Asia had been chosen, just as Carol Anne Duffy was the first woman Poet Laureate 10 years ago.
