... that a 2026-day-old citizen of the United States, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is seventh in the line of succession to the British throne?

"Los Angeles-born Meghan Markle is believed to have retained her US citizenship, and she will automatically pass that on to her offspring unless the child renounces US citizenship once he or she turns 18."[2]
"Prince Harry and Meghan's child is seventh in line for the throne - just behind the baby's father in the order of succession." [3]
- ALT1:... that Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is the first half-American and multiracial baby in the history of British monarchy?

Happy to accept it as an expansion from that date. I have to approve the ALT only as the original is time limited and would be out of date from tomorrow! QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:59, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for such a quick review, The C of E! I should note, however, that the original hook is not time limited because the template counts the days and so the hook is updated every day. I do prefer the original hook because I think it's more punchy and does not focus too much on a baby's race (though that is precisely one of the things that are most often noted about him).

Very well, I have never seen that template used in DYK before so wasn't expecting it so happy to pass the original too (which I personally think is better). The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:08, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

To be honest, I have never seen it here either. If it does not work on the Main Page for some reason, I suppose it can be replaced with whichever number is correct once the hook is promoted. Thanks to your lightning speed review, it might even be tomorrow! Surtsicna (talk) 10:10, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
