Why Prince Harry Received a Teddy Bear that Reads 'Theo' for Baby Archie

Cute dad Prince Harry alert!

The Duke of Sussex visited the Sheffield Children's Hospital in Sheffield, England, today and received two very special gifts for royal baby Archie.

The first gift, a yellow teddy bear with the name HRH Theo emblazoned on his sash, made us scratch our heads for a second. Who's His Royal Highness Theo? Is that Archie's secret real name? Another middle name Meghan Markle and Prince Harry never informed us of? What's going on?!

Alas, the name is actually referring to the children's hospital mascot, an adorable cuddly bear named Theo. Case closed.

The new dad of 10-week-old Archie also received a (very American-flag-looking) baby blanket with the Sussex monogram and Archie's name emblazoned on it.

Prince Harry met with children who are patients at the hospital, and was the epitome of doting dad Harry.

Harry was also shown photographs of his mother Princess Diana from when she visited the hospital 30 years ago.

At one point, Prince Harry met a 1-year-old boy named Noah, according to The Daily Mail, and our heart can't handle all this royal dad adorableness.

That beard grab! Wonder if Archie does the same thing...or should we say, Theo?!
