Prince Harry will want to return to serve his country when the Queen dies - but Meghan Markle won't as she dislikes England, a royal author has claimed.
Ex-Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, whose new book The Palace Papers hit shelves today, says the couple will maybe have a "commuter arrangement" and believes the royals will find a way of "reeling" Harry in.
Harry and Meghan quit as working members of the Royal Family in early 2020 and now have a new life in California with their two children Archie and Lilibet.
The pair are thought to have a strained relationship with some royals - although they made a secret visit to the UK earlier this month, where they met with the Queen and Prince Charles.
In a recent interview with US TV host Hoda Kotb, Harry said that the US was his home "for the time being".
But Brown, who interviewed 120 people for her latest book, believes Harry will want to return to England.
Appearing on New York Times podcast Sway, she said: "I think that Harry is going to want to come back when the Queen dies to serve his country.
"And I think they will find a way to reel him in.

"And it’s possible that Meghan - maybe they will have a commuter arrangement. I don’t know. I don’t see Meghan ever wanting to go back. She disliked England."
In the same interview, Brown said Harry and Meghan leaving the Firm was a disaster for both them and the royals.
She argued that the pair had made some "bad choices" and could have left the Royal Family on far better terms if they weren't both "hotheaded".
Brown added: "I actually think there is a Harry-shaped hole in the royal family now. And Harry was beloved, actually, by the British people. And people adored Meghan when she came into the mix.
"So it was actually very, very sad for everybody that it went so wrong because they actually need Harry and Meghan now. You should see, the Queen is failing, and she’s very frail.
"They kind of need Harry and Meghan to bring that star power and to be on the balcony at the Jubilee. We have to have a royal family up there. We can’t have Andrew up there."
Brown's book The Palace Papers contains countless shocking allegations about the Queen and the rest of the royal family.
It covers everything from Prince Charles's unusual bathroom demands and requests that his shoelaces are ironed, to insight into the Duchess of Cambridge's difficult relationship with her sister-in-law, Meghan.
