Meghan & Kate's Showdown Over Archie

Shock legal documents revealed

- 

The Duchess of Sussex is only now learning the true ramifications of her war with the Duchess of Cambridge, after it was leaked to the UK press that her estranged in-laws will one day control who her son can marry.

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, given that he is seventh in line to the throne, Archie will be required to ask the reigning monarch – which may be Prince Charles or Prince William – for permission to propose to a prospective bride.

And New Idea’s sources say when Meghan read the article, “her blood ran cold”.

“She thought she’d pulled off the escape of the century, whisking Harry and Archie away from the Palace vipers and giving them freedom they’d never have had otherwise,” says a source.
