The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced their newborn son's name: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

The big news comes after Harry and Meghan introduced the new royal baby to the world on Tuesday. They declined to reveal his name at that photocall, which left royal enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. Thankfully, everyone can now breathe easy -- especially Riverdale fans.

Here's the Instagram post announcing the name:

And here are everyone's tweets about it, many of which are about Archie Andrews of Riverdale. (Will the royal baby one day be forced to choose between two worlds: music and football? Perhaps!)

Archie, who is extremely cute (seriously, look at him), was born Monday morning at 5:26 a.m. He weighed seven pounds, three ounces at his time of birth.

When asked by a reporter, Meghan and Harry did not specify which one of them Archie resembles more. Instead, Harry explained that the baby's looks were "changing every single day." Seems standard for a baby!

According to a royal family announcement, both Meghan and Archie are doing well.

"I have the two best guys in the world so I'm really happy," Meghan told a BBC reporter.
