It was in 2020 that the prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle left the UK to settle in California, USA – after making a detour via Vancouver, Canada. We know that it will probably not be the day before tomorrow that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will return “home”, especially since they no longer have a fixed abode there, poor people. Let us remember that they were officially “kicked out” of Frogmore Cottage (a gift from Queen Elizabeth II for their wedding) in June 2023 – where they have not set foot since their American exile. When Harry comes back to his native country, he sleeps in a hotel or with his uncle Spencer.
Harry and Meghan: a pied-à-terre in Portugal?

It is quite possible that they then took advantage of the hospitality of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank – with whom Harry and Meghan remained close. The couple owns a residence located in the luxurious Costa Terra Golf & Ocean Club complex and lives there for a large part of the year due to the gentleman’s work. Enough to give ideas to some…
Soon neighbors of George Clooney and Paris Hilton…
Costa Terra offers “contemporary coastal villas, turnkey club residences and custom luxury homes.” It is possible that Harry and Meghan were tempted in turn. In any case, they would not be the only stars to have fallen under the charm (and the tax advantages) of this Portuguese region. Before them, George ClooneyCindy Crawford, Sharon Stone and recently Paris Hilton have also decided to invest there (and we hope to come there from time to time). When it comes to financing, it’s easy to imagine that Prince Harry didn’t have too much trouble: on the day of his 40th birthday, he actually received a large check for £7 millionlegacy of his late great-grandmother (Queen Mum), who died in 2002.
