What’s in a name? It could be anything if you’re the son of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry but according to details released in a biography centered on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s life, the royal pair had considered another name for the famous little one.

Ever since their move, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Montecito neighbors and paparazzi have not been getting along.
