The Duchess of Sussex will be a "strict" mum to son Archie Harrison, according to one of her close friends. Actress and musician Janina Gavankar gave an interview to Friday night's CBS special Meghan And Harry, Plus One, explaining to host Gayle King that while she'll be a "hands on" and low-maintenance" mother, that doesn't mean she won't have firm rules.

But I think she's gonna - she's an incredibly practical person - she's gonna run a tight ship."
