Royal fans were treated to their first glimpse of the adorable Archie yesterday, lovingly held by his beaming new 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 - although many seemed delighted to meet little Archie.
