Prince Harry could be set to rejoin a slimmed-down monarchy as Prince William and Kate Middleton are already 'under pressure', according to one expert.
Tina Brown, author of The Palace Papers, claims the royal family "are going to need Harry back" following his exit from the firm as a working member.
The royal expert believes Prince Charles and Prince William will seek to include the Duke of Sussex in the future to help relieve the firm of its huge workload, reports the Daily Star.
Speaking on the Guardian's podcast Today in Focus, the biographer said "there is a great effort" to put the attention on the heir, Charles and the Cambridges.
When asked what the smaller Firm is starting to look like, Ms Brown said: "It's looking a bit skeletal, because they weren't supposed to be losing Andrew or Harry, so a bit of a problem slimmed-down monarchy at the moment.
"I think there is excessive pressure on the Cambridges at the moment to be essentially taking up the slack for both Harry and Andrew.
"And I do think at a certain point they are going to need Harry back, particularly probably after the Queen dies, because he was an asset."
There has been speculation regarding Prince Charles's vision of a slimmed-down and more cost-effective Royal Family for many years but the Prince of Wales has never commented on his modern vision for the firm.
The evidence of the shrinking royal family was evident during the Jubilee when the Prince of Wales and the Queen stepped out on the balcony accompanied only by Charles, his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry.
While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were believed to be part of Charles' vision of the future monarchy, Prince Harry and his wife bowed out of the Firm as its working members at the end of March 2020.
They have since carved out a new path for themselves in California, where they have relocated with their son Archie and daughter Lilibet.
