Prince Charles ‘needs’ Prince Harry & Meghan Markle when becoming King as they’ll be ‘huge asset’, says royal expert
PRINCE Charles will need Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when he becomes King, a royal expert claimed.
The Prince of Wales is likely to want and need them because their young appeal is a “huge asset”, author Tina Brown added.
It comes after Britain got a glimpse of Charles’ reign as he stepped in for The Queen at Tuesday’s State Opening of Parliament.
Ms Brown, speculating that Harry and Meghan could return to the Firm, said: “My guess is Charles is really going to want them back — sort of need them back actually — because Harry and Meghan were huge assets to the whole royal repertoire quite frankly.
“They had a young appeal that was very, very potent in the country.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be returning to Britain together next month for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.

She will stand alongside Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, and their kids George, Charlotte and Louis.
Also on the line-up will be Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, Edward and Sophie, their children Lady Louise Windsor and James Viscount Severn, and the Duke of Kent.
We told today how Harry and Meghan’s friend Omid Scobie insisted the pair told The Queen that they never wanted to be on it, denying they were cut from the line-up.
But the couple did insist on attending Her Majesty’s Thanksgiving Service.
There had been doubt over whether Harry and Meghan would even come to the UK for the festivities next month – but minutes after the monarch’s announcement they confirmed they would fly in.
In their first visit as a family of four, they said they were “excited” to bring Archie, three, and baby Lilibet to the UK.
The Queen is yet to meet 10-month-old Lilibet, who will celebrate her first birthday during the celebrations.
