How the world reacted to a glimpse of the royal baby

UK, (DAILY MAIL), 9 MAY 2019 - Royal fans were treated to their first glimpse of baby Archie yesterday, held by his beaming parents the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

But not everyone was quite as thrilled, with some people on social media less than enthusiastic about getting to see the infant, who is seventh-in-line to the throne.

A number of people even criticised the infant’s name, Archie Archie Harrison Mountbatten-windsor.

And some outside the UK questioned why their national media was covering the birth of the seventh in line to the British throne with quite so much interest.

One user said: ‘I heard that the Royal Baby’s name was supposed to unite the US and UK. ‘Its certainly done that. Everyone in both countries agree the name is awful.’

witter users in the US, Australia and France declared themselves perplexed with the incessant news coverage of the seventh in line to the British throne in their countries.
