Now Gayle King is showing the real Meghan in a brand new documentary “Meghan and Harry Plus One

King, who was one of the guests at Meghan’s star-studded baby shower in February, shared her opinion on the royal couple naming their firstborn son Archie Harrison at the CBS Upfront presentation in New York on Wednesday. 

“I love the name Archie,” she said.

“It’s so interesting that everybody’s weighing in on the name Archie. It’s nobody’s business. I’m sure they don’t care what we think about the name – they both like it.”

The CBS This Morning host continued, “I thought his middle name Harrison, means son of Harry. Arch means connection or something I read. They picked a great name. They picked what works for them. But I loved it.”

King, 64, also talked about Meghan and Harry, Plus One, a CBS News special airing on Friday ahead of the couple’s first wedding anniversary this weekend.

“You’re going to look at a love story – two people in love,” she said. “You know the country is cheering them on.”

Last month, just one day after Oprah Winfrey made comments that the Duchess of Sussex, 37, was being treated unfairly, the TV mogul’s good friend also came to the royal’s defense.

“I don’t think she’s being treated fairly, I don’t. I think she is sweet, she is loving, she is kind. She’s extremely generous with her time and her spirit, and I wish we heard more about that,” King told ET.

Despite some of the negative headlines she has received in the British press, Meghan is “doing okay,” King continued. “She’s doing alright. We don’t have to worry about Meghan Markle and Harry. They’re really going to be just fine.”

“And this is the thing, who doesn’t love a good love story?” King added. “Who doesn’t love a couple that’s in love having their first baby? I’m cheering them both on always, I’m very psyched.”
