BBC fires radio presenter after chimpanzee tweet about Britain's new royal baby

<p>Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/prince-harry-and-wife-meghan-share-first-glimpse-of-son-217016">introduced their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor to the world </a>but unlike all his other famous cousins, the baby doesn`t sport a royal title.During a photocall on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/prince-harry-and-meghan-name-dream-son-archie-217102">the Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced their newborn </a>to the world and soon after sharing a glimpse of their baby, the happy parents revealed his name.<br />
<br />
Meghan and Harry have chosen not to use a title for the newborn<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/archie-american-comic-book-character-and-now-the-latest-british-royal-217144"> Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.&nbsp;</a><br />
<br />
"He will not be styled as Earl of Dumbarton but Master Archie M-W," royal historian Marlene Koenig shared with E! News."But I am not surprised as Harry and Meghan want a `normal` life for their kids," Koenig added.<br />
<br />
Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter stated that while many expected the baby to become a prince due to his father`s title, he actually wasn`t eligible for it, reported Fox News."In this instance, the baby wasn`t eligible for a princely title due to the 1917 Letters Patent," Arbiter explained.<br />
<br />
"I think most people were expecting the baby to take on the title of earl, but Harry and Meghan have chosen to forgo all titles in an effort to give their child as normal of a life as possible. He is eligible legally to become an earl, but they`ve chosen not to use that," she added.</p>

<p>Archie has not received a royal title upon birth due to The Letters Patent, passed by King George V in 1917. The outlet further shared that Archie`s cousins, Princes George and Louis, as well as Princess Charlotte, were given titles of prince and princess because they are the children of Prince William. William is the son of Charles, the Prince of Wales, also known as the heir to the throne.<br />
<br />
Therefore, the only way Harry could receive a title for his son is if his paternal great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, steps in. She can issue an order to give the baby boy and his future siblings the title of prince or princess.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Technically, Archie would be eligible to become a prince as a grandson of the Sovereign when Charles becomes king," said Arbiter.<br />
<br />
However, Arbiter shared that Harry and Meghan wanted their son to have a sense of freedom and that does not come with a royal title."He`s going to be simply known as Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. That gives him a greater chance of a normal life. Who knows what the future holds because one day his grandfather will be king. But it just takes the pressure off. There`s not so much expectation. He gets to be normal," she explained.<br />

Royal Family: Prince Harry and Meghan introduces baby son to the world

<p>Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan showed off their <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-become-parents-to-a-baby-boy-216475">newborn son</a> to the world on Wednesday, describing having a baby as "magic".</p>

<p>Cradling his son, wrapped in a white blanket and wearing a hat, Harry and Meghan appeared before a small group of media at St George's Hall in Windsor castle where they held their wedding reception just under a year ago.</p>

<p>"It's magic - it's pretty amazing and I have the two best guys in the world so I am really happy," said a beaming Meghan, wearing a white sleeveless coat dress, when asked how she was finding being a new mother.</p>

<p>She said the boy, the seventh-in-line to the British throne who has not yet been publicly named, was calm, had the sweetest temperament and was sleeping well.</p>

<p>"He's just been the dream so it's been a special couple of days," she said.</p>

<p>The baby was born in the early hours of Monday morning, weighing 7 lb 3oz (3.26 kg), but few other details have been given about the birth.</p>

<p>"It's great, parenting is amazing," Harry said. "It's only been two-and-a-half days, three days, but we're just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy, to be able to spend some precious time with him as he slowly starts to grow up."</p>

<p>The couple said they were about to visit 93-year-old Elizabeth, the world's longest-reigning monarch, at the castle to allow her to meet her eighth great-grandchild.</p>

<p>Meghan's mother Doria Ragland is staying with the couple at their home Frogmore Cottage, on the castle's estate.</p>

<p>"It will a nice moment to introduce the baby to more family and my mum's with us as well," Meghan said.</p>

<p>Britain's royals attract huge fascination and there is particular interest in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/prince-harry-meghan-markle-become-parents-to-a-baby-boy-a-look-back-at-their-royal-love-story-216491">Harry and former US actress Meghan</a>, who are officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.</p>

<p>Given their worldwide popularity, the birth of their first child has attracted particular attention, especially as the new child is first mixed race child to be born into a senior position in British royalty in recent history.</p>

<p>He is also entitled to hold US citizenship while also automatically being a British national.</p>

<p>However, the baby will not automatically be a prince or a princess, or be known as "His Royal Highness", unless the queen issues a specific decree.</p>

<p>"Thank you all so much, and thank you everybody for all the well-wishes and the kindness, it just means so much," Meghan said.</p>

<p>Harry, whose playful antics on royal engagements have made him popular with the public and media, could not resist cracking a joke as he pulled back the blanket to allow cameras to get a better look at his son.</p>

<p>"He's already got a little bit of facial as well - wonderful," joked the bearded prince.</p>

The Queen visits Meghan Markle at her new home ahead of baby Sussex's arrival

<p>Celebrating life's milestones is becoming more expensive and luxurious with the help of influences from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.</p>

<p>From their engagement, wedding and now the impending birth of their first child, the world has watched Meghan Markle and Prince Harry mark each occasion in style.</p>

<p>"I think anything that the royals do is a huge trickledown effect in the US&nbsp;We completely infatuated with what they do in London and what they do behind the palace gates," said celebrity event planner Colin Cowie.</p>

<p>In February Markle travelled to New York for a private baby shower reportedly held at The Mark hotel with celebrity friends including Serena Williams and Amal Clooney. Some of the rumoured elements included a harpist, a floral arrangement tutorial and a dessert bar.</p>

<p>"It's not just a cake and cupcakes. It's cake pops, it's personalized cookies, it's macaroni towers," said Alison Bernstein the founder of party planning Website, TheBash.com.</p>

<p>With the rise of social media millennial moms-to-be want to emulate what they see and create their own wow moments to share online, which raises the price tag of traditional showers of the past.</p>

<p>"I think they're quite lavish," said Cowie. "You're throwing a birthday party for the boy or the girl that hasn't arrived yet. So, you know, you're probably spending $20,000-30,000 dollars (USD) on a shower," he added.</p>

<p>Bernstein said entertainment is one of the major elements that set a celebrity shower apart from others: "They'll have multiple entertainers, they'll have multiple moments at a shower. So a shower can be five hours long, but each portion of it feels different."</p>

<p>However, no matter the budget or type of function, Cowie always starts planning with the same steps.</p>

<p>"I like to start with the DNA and then I add the five senses, which is smell, touch, taste, see, and hear. And that's how we tell the great story whether it's a shower, a birthday party or a wedding."</p>

<p>Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle, an American actress of African-American heritage, was a historic moment for Britain's royal family. Some say the imminent birth of their baby is, if anything, even more significant.</p>

<p>Due in the coming weeks, the baby will be seventh-in-line to the throne and, it is believed, the first person of mixed race in such a senior position in the history of British royalty.</p>

<p>"I think this baby is going to be hugely important historically because it's going to break new ground," royal biographer Claudia Joseph told Reuters.</p>

<p>"Whether it's a girl or a boy, it will be the first Afro-American baby to be born into the royal family."</p>

<p>With a black mother and white father, Meghan's ethnicity has never been far away from discussions about her relationship with Queen Elizabeth's grandson - scrutiny that has often been unwelcome.</p>

<p>In late 2016 when he first announced they were dating, Harry issued a rare rebuke to the press, condemning the racial undertones of articles. One commentator had written how Meghan would bring "rich and exotic DNA" to the Windsors.</p>

<p>Michelle Ebanks, head of the company that publishes "Essence", a U.S. magazine for African-American women, sees the positive.</p>

<p>"Every time we can break a barrier and be, as black people, somewhere were we’re not expected to be that is to be celebrated.</p>

<p>"Because we should not be in a box. Not in a box, not outside a box - there is no box! So, to be royalty should be normal," Ebanks told Reuters.</p>

<p>But Kehinde Andrews, a sociology professor at England's Birmingham City University who writes on race issues, is less sure that the royal baby indicates any improvement in racial equality.</p>

<p>"Unfortunately, because racism is so bad and so historic and so entrenched, we tend to look at things, any things," he said.</p>

<p>"So any symbol that could possibly be good we tend to over-celebrate: Barack Obama becoming president, the film 'Black Panther' got people excited, anytime we have someone which ... looks like similar progress - unfortunately, we get carried away.</p>

<p>"But I think when we sit back and actively analyse what's happened and what's changed we realize that this is nothing, means nothing at all."</p>

<p>BLACK PRINCESSES</p>

<p>For Ingrid Seward, editor of "Majesty" magazine, the new baby will be a small but important step in the royal family's evolution.</p>

<p>"In order for the monarchy to survive it has to evolve and this is another way of it evolving and becoming more in tune with the multiracial society in which we now live."</p>

<p>Royal biographer Robert Jobson said Meghan's ethnicity resonated with many young Britons.</p>

<p>"I was at the wedding reporting for American television and there were little black girls dressed up as princesses in their princesses dress with little tiaras," he said.</p>

<p>"Now even though they would have been excited to be at a royal wedding or even talk about a princess, I don't think that those little girls would have ever dreamed that they could be part of this story."</p>

<p>However, those like Jobson whose job it is to cover the royals on a daily basis have found themselves accused of racism on social media by supporters of Meghan, often for reporting critical comments made about her by members of her own family.</p>

<p>Valentine Low, who covers the royal family for the Times of London, wrote in February that some U.S. networks gave the impression that Britain's media was racist and sexist.</p>

<p>"The problem is that in some quarters, particularly in the U.S., any negative coverage is seen as racist," he wrote.</p>

<p>"Anything less than unqualified adulation comes under a barrage of abuse on social media."</p>

<p>But some British journalists say Meghan has been treated differently from other members of the House of Windsor, citing a difference in attitude towards Kate, the wife of Harry's elder brother Prince William.</p>

<p>Broadcaster Afua Hirsch, author of "Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging", said ethnicity played a part.</p>

<p>"I would like to see more honesty and introspection in journalists who have repeated some of these tropes about Meghan Markle, and a willingness to at least look at the fact that her treatment has been different," she told Reuters.</p>

<p>Meghan herself has said she avoids newspapers and Twitter, but asked about the focus on her ethnicity when her engagement was announced, she such coverage had been "disheartening".</p>

<p>"At the end of the day I'm really just proud of who I am and where I come from," she said.</p>

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby will be the first mixed-race person in such a high position of British royalty

Children's charity World Vision has released what it said was "never-before-seen moments" of Meghan Markle during a humanitarian trip to India. The video shows the American actress visiting Delhi in 2017 before she married Britain's Prince Harry and became known formally as the Duchess of Sussex. Markle who was a prominent humanitarian campaigner, often speaking out in support of women's rights, worked as Global Ambassador for World Vision.

Watch: When Meghan Markle came to India in 2017 on a humanitarian trip

<p>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been doing a lot of things differently, from moving to a new location (<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-to-move-out-of-kensington-palace-confirms-buckingham-palace-203606">now residing in Frogmore Cottage </a>instead of where the others live) to opening their own Instagram handle (<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-and-prince-harry-are-now-on-instagram-together-207620">Sussex Royals has a new handle</a>, unlike Kensington, handle used by Harry’s elder sibling William and Kate).</p>

<p>If this was not enough, the two also recently decided to not pose at the footsteps of the hospital where they will deliver their firstborn. We told you about this development last week when it made news after the royal channels revealed to the British press.</p>

<p>While this must have broken many hearts as the British people and those around the world who follow the royals like to see the new mother pose with their new addition, there comes another shocker.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/tracing-the-birth-of-british-royal-babies-from-now-queen-elizabeth-to-youngest-member-prince-louis-201503">You must also see, in pictures, the birth of British royal babies in time.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>This time, it has been announced that the birth of their first child will indeed be a private affair with Prince Harry turning a photographer for their big moment. He will apparently, according to several british medi areports,&nbsp;click the first photo of the new mother and their child. This means that we could expect an intimate photo of them together instead of the one we are used to with them posing on the steps of a hospital. Some even hint that they might be doing this so that they could publish the first photo on their Instagram handle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to official announcements, Meghan was due around April of 2019, which means the couple will soon welcome baby Sussex. They recently, via their official handle, posted news of how they are using money that people wanted to gift their money to help children in need.&nbsp;</p>

Not only did many of you lend your support, you took action. Their Royal Highnesses wanted you to know the impact of your support – the direct effect your donation, energy, and action made! YOU chose to be part of the collective good, and you have made a real difference. Whether a $5 donation, £1000 contribution, offering to volunteer, or spreading the word – you’ve played your part. And on behalf of The Duke and Duchess (and Baby Sussex), we thank you so much. YOUR IMPACT: @thelunchboxfund will now be able to provide a minimum of 100,000 additional hot nutritionally fortified meals to children in dire need across South Africa @littlevillagehq received donations from all over the world (from UAE to Hong Kong and the US), they’ve increased their monthly donors, had a surge in volunteer applications, and re-energized their hard working team of 200+ staff and volunteers @wellchild can now provide 300+ additional hours of specialist care by a Well Child Nurse for a child with serious health needs, allowing families to stay together at home vs in hospital @Baby2Baby have received over 5,000 products to disperse to children in need, including cribs, books, backpacks, diapers and have received monetary donations from around the globe - from Guadalajara to Italy. You made this happen. Thank you.</a></p>

While this must have broken many hearts as the British people and those around the world who follow the royals like to see the new mother pose with their new addition, there comes another shocker. You must also see, in pictures, the birth of British royal babies in time. This time, it has been announced that the birth of their first child will indeed be a private affair with Prince Harry turning a photographer for their big moment. He will apparently, according to several british medi areports, click the first photo of the new mother and their child. This means that we could expect an intimate photo of them together instead of the one we are used to with them posing on the steps of a hospital. Some even hint that they might be doing this so that they could publish the first photo on their Instagram handle. According to official announcements, Meghan was due around April of 2019, which means the couple will soon welcome baby Sussex. They recently, via their official handle, posted news of how they are using money that people wanted to gift their money to help children in need. View this post on Instagram Just one week ago, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex asked that you kindly consider supporting various organisations around the world in lieu of sending gifts for the upcoming arrival of their first born. Not only did many of you lend your support, you took action. Their Royal Highnesses wanted you to know the impact of your support – the direct effect your donation, energy, and action made! YOU chose to be part of the collective good, and you have made a real difference. Whether a $5 donation, £1000 contribution, offering to volunteer, or spreading the word – you’ve played your part. And on behalf of The Duke and Duchess (and Baby Sussex), we thank you so much. YOUR IMPACT: @thelunchboxfund will now be able to provide a minimum of 100,000 additional hot nutritionally fortified meals to children in dire need across South Africa @littlevillagehq received donations from all over the world (from UAE to Hong Kong and the US), they’ve increased their monthly donors, had a surge in volunteer applications, and re-energized their hard working team of 200+ staff and volunteers @wellchild can now provide 300+ additional hours of specialist care by a Well Child Nurse for a child with serious health needs, allowing families to stay together at home vs in hospital @Baby2Baby have received over 5,000 products to disperse to children in need, including cribs, books, backpacks, diapers and have received monetary donations from around the globe - from Guadalajara to Italy. You made this happen. Thank you. A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on Apr 15, 2019 at 6:51am PDT × We can’t wait for your bundle of joy Meghan and Harry!

Prince Harry to click first picture of Meghan Markle with their firstborn: Report

Ryan Hatrick's London kitchen, Prince William and his wife Kate smile from lined up royal-themed mugs, a magnet of Queen Elizabeth sticks to the oven, and a tea towel marking Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle hangs nearby. Hatrick has long been a royal fan - he remembers his mother looking for somewhere to watch Prince Charles marry Diana Spencer while on holiday in a remote seaside cottage in 1981 and avidly read about Tudor monarchs as a teenager.

Pictures and podcasts: royal fans old and new await Baby Sussex

<p>Talk about being born with a silver spoon in your mouth: the royal baby of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have a particularly glittery one. And US tax authorities will be keen to know how much that utensil is worth.</p>

<p>That's because the baby will have dual nationality: British because of his father and US from his American mother, whose official title is the Duchess of Sussex.</p>

<p>"When one of the parents is American and has resided in the US for five years with at least two after the age of 14, the baby is automatically a citizen," said David Treitel, founder of American Tax Returns, a consultancy for US expatriates living in Britain.</p>

<p>"This is the case with Meghan," said Treitel, noting this case is a first in the British royal family.</p>

<p>US nationality comes with a bevvy of restrictive conditions: like any American who is born, grows up and dies anywhere in the world, year after year Meghan and Harry's child will have to show the Internal Revenue Service his or her tax status is clean.</p>

<p>From the moment of birth, money deposited in banks by the royal parents -- eager to ensure a bright future for their progeny -- must be duly reported to the tax man.</p>

<p>The same would apply to money that comes in if mom and dad decide, say, to have the child follow in the footsteps of his ex-actress mother to become a star on TV or in movies.</p>

<p>Forget about privacy, said Treitel. The IRS will "get to know a lot more about the couple's wealth" through the tax returns of the couple and their mother. "A lot more information is gonna get to the US," he added.</p>

<p>To wit: the IRS will demand that any valuable gifts from non-Americans to Harry and Meghan's child -- and he will be feted, won't he? -- also be declared as assets.</p>

<p>"Imagine the queen giving the baby some nice beautiful book of art from the royal collection, with paintings by Van Gogh or Miro. If this gift is worth more than USD 100,000, it is reportable," said Treitel.</p>

<p>However, baby shower gifts that Markle received recently in New York will not have to be declared if they came from fellow Americans, the expert said.</p>

<p>And although the baby and the mother will have to present forms that will be very time-consuming for their accountants, they may still not have to pay a lot in tax: these may be offset by duties paid in Britain, tax specialist Laura Saunders told The Wall Street Journal.</p>

<p>US tax authorities' efforts to keep a close watch on American expatriates can have serious consequences for people whose sole link to America is that they were simply born there.</p>

<p>Such is the case of so-called "Accidental Americans" - such as thousands of people in France who automatically received US citizenship because they were born in the US but left America as little kids and no longer have any links whatsoever to the country.</p>

<p>Since the adoption of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act in 2010, which replaced the criterion of nationality with that of tax domicile, these people are obliged to report their income to US tax authorities and in some cases actually, cough up some money.</p>

<p>Many of these people left the US when they were very young. The Association of Accidental Americans that brings them together asked President Donald Trump last year to find a solution to their quandary.</p>

<p>Their status can be a touchy subject. If they refuse to play ball with the US tax authorities, their banks at home can be sanctioned. So these institutions can refuse them services like bank accounts and mortgages.</p>

<p>To a lesser extent, the British royal family cannot dodge its US tax obligations either: a flawed tax return can trigger hefty fines.</p>

<p>But there is a solution to avoid headaches for the royal couple's accountants: Meghan can renounce her US citizenship. However, even if she does that, tax returns would still have to be filed for the child until age 18.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The account will serve as a place where the royal couple can update their followers on major news and promote causes close to their hearts. The Duke and Duchess used to update their fans on their initiatives via the Kensington Palace social media channels which they shared with Kate Middleton and Prince William.</p>

<p>However, the duo is now establishing their own royal household. Harry and Meghan aren`t the only ones in the royal family to recently make an Instagram debut. Queen Elizabeth II too shared her first post on the social network last month.</p>

<p>This move also comes shortly after Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Palace published guidelines for interacting with the royals via their official accounts. According to People, Harry and Meghan will use Instagram for both their work and personal moments. Since the couple is all set to welcome their first child this month, everyone will surely get a glimpse of their royal baby!</p>

<p>Interestingly, this is not the first time that Meghan Markle is on Instagram. The former actress was quite active earlier on her Instagram page but eventually deactivated her account when she got engaged to Prince Harry as her royal duties did not allow her to run a personal page on Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Harry and Meghan have already got thousands of followers in minutes. This move comes amid the announcement that Harry and Meghan have split royal households from Kate Middleton and Prince William. They have broken up their joint "court" at Kensington Palace by creating two separate offices.Harry and Meghan have also been removed from the official Kensington Palace Twitter account, which now has a profile picture of William, Kate, and their three children.&nbsp;</p>

View this post on Instagram “Welcome to our official Instagram; we look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a light on key issues. We thank you for your support, and welcome you to @sussexroyal.”- Harry & Meghan A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on Apr 2, 2019 at 7:16am PDT × The account will serve as a place where the royal couple can update their followers on major news and promote causes close to their hearts. The Duke and Duchess used to update their fans on their initiatives via the Kensington Palace social media channels which they shared with Kate Middleton and Prince William. However, the duo is now establishing their own royal household. Harry and Meghan aren`t the only ones in the royal family to recently make an Instagram debut. Queen Elizabeth II too shared her first post on the social network last month. This move also comes shortly after Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Kensington Palace published guidelines for interacting with the royals via their official accounts. According to People, Harry and Meghan will use Instagram for both their work and personal moments. Since the couple is all set to welcome their first child this month, everyone will surely get a glimpse of their royal baby! Interestingly, this is not the first time that Meghan Markle is on Instagram. The former actress was quite active earlier on her Instagram page but eventually deactivated her account when she got engaged to Prince Harry as her royal duties did not allow her to run a personal page on Instagram. Harry and Meghan have already got thousands of followers in minutes. This move comes amid the announcement that Harry and Meghan have split royal households from Kate Middleton and Prince William. They have broken up their joint "court" at Kensington Palace by creating two separate offices.Harry and Meghan have also been removed from the official Kensington Palace Twitter account, which now has a profile picture of William, Kate, and their three children.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are now on Instagram together

<p>What will Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan name their child?</p>

<p>With the former actress in the last stage of her pregnancy, punters are having a flutter on the baby's gender, weight, date and birthplace. One of the most popular wagers is for the name. For a boy, Arthur is leading the pack at bookmakers William Hill but if it's a girl, many expect the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could pay tribute to Harry's late mother.</p>

<p>"Diana (is) 10/1 red hot favourite, no great surprises there," William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said. "But the recent move is for Victoria also 10/1, (people) really like it."</p>

<p>Queen Elizabeth's grandson and his American wife, who married last May, announced in October they were expecting their first child this spring.</p>

<p>In January, Meghan told well-wishers she was six months pregnant, adding the couple did not know the baby's gender.</p>

<p>William Hill odds were 8/11 for a girl and evens for a boy earlier this week. At Betfair, the odds have shortened on a girl, and the favourite name is Diana at 5/1, Betfair Media Relations Manager Katie Baylis said.</p>

<p>Baylis said another possibility was Alice, a name that was among those speculated when Prince William and his wife Kate were expecting their third child last year. Kate eventually gave birth to a boy, Prince Louis.</p>

<p>"Punters feel that there will at some point be an Alice in the royal family and so we've seen plenty of interest in that name as well," she said.</p>

<p>The mother of Harry's grandfather Prince Philip was called Alice.</p>

<p>Betfair has odds of 8/1 for Arthur. Alice, Victoria, Grace, James and Edward each stand at 14/1. Diana and Arthur are also among favourites at other bookmakers.</p>

<p>Other wagers have included who will be godparents to the baby, the date and time of birth, and if Meghan will have twins.</p>

<p>"Comparative to (Prince William and Kate) the Harry betting is significantly more at this stage, so 30 odd per cent (more) ... in real terms that's huge," Adams said.</p>

<p>Outside Buckingham Palace, sightseers shared their name preferences.</p>

<p>"I would put money on a girl and Victoria (as a name) because we could call her Tori," tourist Sarah Owens said.</p>

<p>Fellow sightseer Danni Ma picked Mary: "(It) sounds very old fashioned but it is Meghan and Harry (combined)."</p>

Baby Diana or little Arthur? Bets on for royal baby name for Harry and Meghan's firstborn

<p>Fascination, pride and the best soap opera in the world have many Americans eagerly awaiting the impending birth of Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's first child.</p>

<p>After some 29 million Americans watched the televised May 2018 wedding of Harry to Californian actress Markle, the prospect of the first British royal baby born to an American mother is proving even more compelling.</p>

<p>"It's going to be massive," said JD&nbsp;Heyman, deputy editor of People magazine. "When Meghan presents the baby when Meghan and Harry step out onto a balcony ... I think what you will see is an enormous outpouring of affection for both of them."</p>

<p>"The excitement around this equals the births of certainly Prince William's babies and, frankly, Harry and William's birth(s)" more than 30 years ago, Heyman added.</p>

<p>Despite America's War of Independence fought against Britain some 240 years ago, Americans have long been obsessed with British royals, who regularly feature on the front pages of celebrity magazines.</p>

<p>British producer Nick Bullen, a co-founder of subscription streaming service True Royalty TV, which launched last summer, said a colourful and dramatic history with larger-than-life figures such as King Henry VIII drives the modern fascination with the royal family.</p>

<p>"The British royal family is the best soap opera in town," he said. "It's as simple as that."</p>

<p>True Royalty TV is based in London but draws its largest number of subscribers from the United States.</p>

<p>While celebrity media outlets are chronicling Markle's pregnancy with daily pictures and speculation over the baby's sex and due date, True Royalty TV plans documentaries and talk-show discussions on topics including how will the royal couple raise their first child?</p>

<p>"Imagine raising an American royal in Britain," Bullen said. "It's hard enough I think for a lot of Americans to come to London and get to grips with boarding schools and prep schools and little caps and little shorts and how we raise children in the UK.</p>

<p>"Will Dorian, Meghan's mum, be involved in the baby's raising?" Bullen said. "Will it have holidays in California? Will it be doing baby yoga? People want to know all that level of detail."</p>

<p>Not everyone is getting caught up in royal baby fever.</p>

<p>"I actually don't have too much of an opinion about it," shrugged Evan Jorgensen, as he strolled along the Venice Beach boardwalk in California on Monday.</p>

<p>But most people Reuters spoke to said they were excited and pleased. Americans feel tremendous affection toward Markle, said Heyman.</p>

<p>"There's a personal pride that many people feel, that an average American girl of a multiracial background has risen to this position," he said.</p>
