Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could return to work as "part-time royals" when Prince Charles takes over the thrown, according to an author.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family in 2020 and overhauled their lives to start afresh in sunny California, where they live with children Archie, two, and baby Lilibet.
Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, have been fairly successful in making their own way through their philanthropic work with the Archewell Foundation as well as their multimillion pound deals with streaming giants like Netflix and Spotify.
While they appear to have moved on from their time working for the monarch, one royal author believes the pair could return to their duties when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's thrown is taken over by Harry's father Charles, 73.
Speaking to the To Di For Daily podcast, Tom Quinn said: “One interesting thing an insider told me… Is that both Meghan and Harry believe that when the elder royals die – in other words, Elizabeth (95) – they may well be able when Charles is King, be able to come back and be the part-time royals that they really wanted to be.
“So that they would be six months [as] working royals and six months in the States or wherever doing their own thing."
He continued: “That was something that Queen Elizabeth absolutely said couldn’t happen, but I think Meghan and Harry are hoping that Charles, Harry's father after all, will be more of a moderniser and will say to them, ‘Okay, if you want to be part-time royals, that’s fine’.
“I don’t think Harry and Meghan really want to spend their whole time in the States and not be part of the Royal Family, they just don’t want to do it all the time.”
Author Tom, who wrote Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir from Queen Mary to Meghan Markle, went on to explain that fears surrounding what Harry might write about the Royal Family in his upcoming memoir are unfounded.
The author claimed Harry has no intention of damaging the royal institution and instead is simply looking for his "role" within the Firm.

“I don’t think Harry does want to destroy the Royal Family. I think he just really does want to find a role," Tom said.
He continued: “He doesn’t really have a role in the Royal Family because he’s the spare rather than the heir, but there’s still lots of hospitals to open, meetings to go to, charities to support. He could have had that limited role, but in California what can he do?
“So I think really rather than damage the Royal Family I think he’s just madly in love with Meghan and wants to make her happy.”
