aThis time last year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared the happy news that they had welcomed a baby son. However the name caused a huge row when it was first introduced back in 1973 - decades before Meghan and Harry wrote it on little Archie's birth certificate. Before marrying the Queen Philip was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. But Prime Minister Winston Churchill didn't agree, and wanted them to continue to use the name Windsor, which was the official Royal Family surname. The Queen's grandmother Queen Mary agreed, and it caused such a row that the matter was even discussed in Parliament.
