Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Monday, May 6 at 5.26am. The son of Meghan and Prince Harry entered the world just as the sun came up, perhaps indicating the seventh in line to the throne has a bright future in store. When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced the newborn’s name on Wednesday, there was no honorary royal title in sight – and could be a start of a more modern monarchy.

One expert believes young Archie could definitely change the Royal Family – for the better.

Eric Schiffer, Chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, said: “Baby Archie, backed with social media power, will improve the popularity of the monarchy with the British people – especially where it’s needed most with its relatable younger citizens.”

Mr Schiffer also said the little one will change his mother’s image, who has been met with controversy for breaking traditional royal protocols on multiple occasions.

He added: “Meghan Markle’s new baby boy shifts her image from Royal Family outcast, being referred to as ‘bridezilla’ and ‘difficult,’ to new mother of the seventh in line to the throne.

“Royal babies have a power to bring people together and will douse flames of outrage surrounding the controversial Duchess of Sussex and create a halo of positivity for the Royal Family.”

According to data by statista.com, the levels of support for the monarchy among the British public, as of May 2018, saw younger people being the least approving group.

Asked whether they supported or opposed Britain having a monarchy, 57 percent of people aged 18 to 24 said they supported it while 25 percent opposed.

Although the Royal Family is supported by the majority, the level of support is much lower in young age groups.

People aged 55 and over were the most supportive group with as much as 77 percent supporting the monarchy and only 18 percent opposing it.

The data derives from YouGov Profiles which constantly collects data from 275,000 British YouGov members.

The trend showing that younger people are more likely to oppose the monarchy is worrying for the Royal Family.

But Archie, together with mum Meghan and dad Prince Harry could give the Royal Family a surge in support.

With the Duke and Duchess of Sussex choosing not to give their son a royal title, as well as introducing his name on social media, the family-of-three are leading the way towards a more modern monarchy.

Katie Nicholl, the author of Harry and Meghan: Life, Loss and Love, says the lack of a royal title “speaks volumes for the future they have planned”.

She added Meghan’s American nationality has, for its part, already made a positive impact on the monarchy.

Ms Nicholl told TIME: “The marriage in itself signals change in so many ways.

“We’ve seen them re-write the royal script, and I don’t see that ending as they become parents.”
