Is there water in the gas between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? According to some rumors, the Sussexes are at odds to the point of talking about divorce. However, the couple has just acquired a villa in Portugal, on the coast of Melides, an hour's drive from Lisbon, if we are to believe the Daily Mail. But why did the parents of Archie, 5 years old, and Lilibet, 3 years old, decide to settle in this corner of Europe?
Harry and Meghan, settled in Portugal?
It was in September 2023 that the Sussexes fell under the spell of Alentejo, a region in the south of Portugal. And on the advice of Prince Harry's favorite cousin, Princess Eugenie, the lovebirds invested in a pied-à-terre, a luxury bungalow located in the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club resort in the Melides seaside resort. This place, very close to the sea, belongs to real estate developer Mike Meldman, whose marketing director is… Jack Brooksbank, Eugénie's husband!
According to France Sundayit is therefore Prince Harry's cousin and her husband who persuaded Archie and Lilibet's parents to treat themselves to this love nest in Portugal. The former actress and her husband were evicted from Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, where they lived early in their marriage, and moved to Montecito, California, Meghan Markle's birth state.
Harry and Meghan, on the verge of divorce? “Things wouldn’t go well.”
This purchase of a pied-à-terre in Portugal comes as rumors of a possible separation between Harry and Meghan are flying. The couple have not been seen together since August and some royal experts agree that their relationship's situation is critical.
“I heard rumors coming out of California that things really weren't going well between them. I wonder if in a year or so we won't look back and think that this was the start of something very serious“, declared the journalist Hugo Vickers in the Sun. But a source from the Royal Palace estimated Paris Match : “Their children are too young for them to consider divorce. They will definitely wait until they are older“.
