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.
