Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Purchase Luxury Home in Portugal as “Plan B” Amid Concerns Over Trump’s Return

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly purchased a $4.7 million residence in Portugal’s CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, a high-end, 722-acre development about 81 miles south of Lisbon. According to insiders, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex saw this as an “emergency escape solution” in light of Donald Trump’s expected return to the White House.

Sources of the couple suggest they felt pressure to establish an overseas residence due to Trump’s known dislike for the Sussexes, which could influence his stance on Prince Harry’s U.S. diplomatic status. Trump’s past remarks about Harry, in which he said he might reconsider Harry’s citizenship application, have reportedly heightened their concerns, leading them to seek an alternative base in Europe.

While Meghan is a U.S. U.S.zen, Prince Harry has been pursuing American citizenship, though the process has faced hurdles. His immigration status is reportedly under scrutiny, with some challenges stemming from admissions in his memoir, ‘Spare’, where he disclosed past drug use, potentially jeopardizing his visa application. Despite this, a judge recently ruled that his visa records will remain private, following efforts from conservative think tanks to bring them to light.

The couple initially moved to California in 2020, hoping for a fresh start after leaving royal duties behind. However, they reportedly feel that life in the U.S. is not fully aligned with their expectations, prompting the decision to explore options abroad. Their choice of Portugal also allows them to pursue E.U. citizenship, granting freedom of movement across the Schengen Area’s 29 countries.
