"Riverdale" Had the Thirstiest Response to Meghan and Harry’s Baby Archie

Zero royal chill.

Overnight, it was revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would stray from Royal tradition and name their newborn baby boy Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

As CNN point out, the first child of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry hasn’t been given a traditional Royal name, nor is Archie even short for the more formal Archibald. He's just a straight up Archie.

And though Baby Archie is just seventh in line to the throne (with, sadly, little chance of ever wearing the crown), he is quickly becoming the King of Memes.

The official Archie Comics account chimed in with an extremely ‘weird twitter’ response to the news...

... while the account for Riverdale, in which KJ Apa plays Sexy Archie, delivered the thirstiest of all the responses.

Their fans followed close behind:
