Netflix Pokes Fun at Royal Baby's Name Archie With 'Riverdale' Reference
Fans of the royal family have been ecstatic this week, as Duchess Meghan has finally given birth to her and husband Prince Harry's first child, a baby boy. And two days after the little one was born, they've finally revealed his name. Say hello to Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor!
Of course, everyone has been talking about the name nonstop, with social media totally blowing up with fans excited to discuss. Do we love it? Do we hate it? I'm honestly not too sure how I feel about it, but there's one thing for sure--I definitely thought of Riverdale's main character right away.
If you're familiar with the CW series Riverdale, which is also available on Netflix, then you know KJ Apa's character Archie Andrews. The loveable high schooler who always tries to do what's best has become a household name for many, but we're assuming he's not who the Meghan and Harry named their son after.
But that didn't stop Netflix for poking a bit of fun at the name reveal. Taking to their official Twitter account, the streaming service simply wrote, "Archiekins!" People familiar with the teen drama know that this is the nickname Veronica Lodge has for Archie, who is her on-again, off-again love interest.
People are obviously loving the crossover, as the tweet received over 1,000 likes in about the first 20 minutes.
Now we're just waiting for KJ to weigh in on the royal baby's name.
