LOL! Mark Hamill Jokes That He Wanted Prince Harry to Name the New Royal Baby After Him

May 9 2019 - 8:40am


Star Wars [1] star Mark Hamill is one of the many people who have some thoughts about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's adorable name for their newborn son [2]. On Wednesday, the royal duo revealed their bundle of joy is named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor [3]. Yes, there were Riverdale jokes aplenty [4], but Mark specifically addressed baby Archie's middle name.

Mark tweeted a throwback picture of himself speaking to Prince William and Prince Harry on the set of a Star Wars film, quipping in the caption that he was sharing potential royal baby names with them at the time. "Here's me with William & Harry pitching the idea of naming any future royal baby after their favorite #StarWars actor," he wrote, joking that Archie's middle name is inspired by his Star Wars costar Harrison Ford. "Happy they chose Archie HARRISON Mountbatten-Windsor, but regret not being more specific. Should have pitched favorite #StarWars actor WHO PLAYED LUKE."

Harry and Meghan officially welcomed their firstborn [9] on May 6 before giving the world a view of Archie [10] two days later. During Harry's May 9 trip to the Hague for the launch of the 2019 Invictus Games, he even received a special gift for his son: an Invictus Games onesie [11]! Perhaps if Mark sends Harry and Meghan a Luke Skywalker onesie, they'd consider changing Archie's middle name to Mark? (Eh, probably not.)
