When Prince Charles becomes king, Harry and Meghan will be needed, royal experts say
We are slowly beginning to see glimpses of what the monarchy under Charles will look like. This week, Prince Charles attended the opening of Parliament on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. (This is the third time the Queen has missed this important event since she was pregnant with Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.)
Her eldest son, Prince William, attended the opening of Parliament with his father. But as Prince Charles' reign becomes clearer, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "will need" his brother Prince Harry and his wife, Princess Meghan, because they are "huge assets" to the royal family, says Tina Brown, author of a new book, The Palace Papers. [Harry and Meghan were an asset to the entire royal repertoire because, frankly, they were a great asset to the entire royal family. Harry and Meghan were, frankly, a great asset to the entire royal repertoire," Brown said on this week's episode of "Royally Obsessed."
After the Sussexes abdicated in January 2020, the couple hoped to carve out a "part-time royal" role. As reported by the Express, "the 'half in, half out' approach was rejected, and the couple have since spent most of their time in the United States."
The couple's "half in, half out" approach was rejected, and they have spent most of their time in the United States ever since. [However, the Sussexes will return with their children Archie and Lili for the Platinum Jubilee next month, and while the Queen is adamant that the "part time royal" approach will not work under her reign, Prince Charles "takes a more conciliatory approach" might," the "Express" reported.
Kinsey Scofield, a royal expert and founder of ToDiForDaily.com, told the Express that Charles has a "very soft heart" and is "anxious to begin the healing process" with Harry.
"I think he loves Prince Harry desperately," Scofield said. But Prince Harry is his DNA; he gets hurt when the two of them aren't talking, when things aren't going in the right direction. I think Prince Charles is very forgiving."
And speaking of little glimpses, Harry and Meghan flying in from their home base in California for the Platinum Jubilee event may be a peek into what the future holds for the Sussexes' potential to become part-time royalty Perhaps.
