To the surprise of many, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have acquired a new property in Europe, choosing Portugal as their destination, rather than the United Kingdom, as might have been expected.
This decision reflects an important step for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are looking to maintain a link to their previous life in the UK, but with a clear intention to keep some distance.
Last year, King Charles III asked the couple to vacate Frogmore Cottage, the residence Queen Elizabeth II had granted them in Windsor. As a result, Harry and Meghan were left without a place to stay in their native country during their future visits.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Portugal
According to British media, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have opted for a resort located near Comporta, where, interestingly, Princess Eugenie of York resides with her family.
This family connection seems to have influenced Meghan and Harry’s decision to invest in Portugal, as Princess Eugenie has been one of Prince Harry’s closest allies and maintains a close relationship with him, providing them with emotional support in their new life.
The choice of Portugal also facilitates logistics for future travel, not only within Europe, but also to other destinations such as Africa.
Recently, Harry visited Lesotho, evidencing his interest in maintaining these connections. By choosing Portugal as his base in Europe, the Duke and his wife can organize their travel more efficiently, avoiding long and tiring trips from California.
According to information from the Daily Mail, the Sussexes’ new residence is located in the prestigious Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club, a luxury complex with 300 homes overlooking the sea, located in Melides, south of Lisbon and a short distance from Comporta.
This development not only offers an exclusive environment but also guarantees privacy and a pleasant Mediterranean climate.
It is worth mentioning that the properties have been decorated by the renowned Portuguese designer Alexandra Champalimaud, who has achieved an impeccable fusion between traditional aesthetics and contemporary touches, respecting the natural environment of the area.
Amenities offered by the community include a golf course, a private beach, restaurants, a spa center, and an organic farm, making it an ideal destination for vacations or long stays.
The acquisition of this new home in Portugal represents not only a geographic change for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle but also a well-thought-out strategy that allows them to enjoy their privacy and maintain closeness to their loved ones while offering them the freedom to explore Europe with greater ease.
