Prince Charles said Harry and Meghan’s decision to quit as working royals resulted in uncertainty over the future of their children.
A 300-year-old royal prerogative means that the ruling monarch (Prince Charles in future) is believed to have automatic custody of all the minor grandchildren.
However, it is not an Act of Parliament. Since Queen Elizabeth is baby Archie’s great-grandmother, this royal right is not valid. Prince Charles, who is baby Archie’s grandfather could have custody over Archie once he becomes monarch. This is based on the fact regarding the ruling sovereign’s right to veto the line of succession.
But, only for the first six heirs to the throne. Baby Archie falls under the first six heirs once Prince Charles becomes monarch. So Prince Charles could actually have custody over Archie.

Well, for the current time being, Duke and Duchess of Sussexes, Harry and Meghan have full custody of Archie. At least as long as Queen Elizabeth rules unless the royal prerogative is adapted into an Act of Parliament.
