Prince Harry and Meghan seem to be trading the chilly corridors of royal palaces for the sunny coastlines of Portugal! After a series of dramatic events, including stepping away from the royal fold and finding directions amidst family tensions, the Sussexes are eyeing a fresh start through Portugal’s ‘Golden Visa,’ with Meghan not having gained her British citizenship yet. Read on to know more about it.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have caused a stir with their alleged swanky new home, which they have purchased in Portugal. Some royal watchers speculate it’s a move to ‘pretend they’re still royals,’ but the truth is far more personal for Harry and Meghan. They have apparently snapped up a pad on the sunny coast, which could bag them a ‘Golden Visa’ for easy-peasy travel through the EU’s Schengen zone.
As per Daily Mail, the estranged royals were evicted from Frogmore Cottage at Windsor last year and now the LA based couple is looking for refuge in Europe. Despite claims about keeping up appearances, royal commentator Angela Levin has explained the “real reason” for purchasing a home in Portugal, pointing out that Harry spills the beans in his tell-all memoir ‘Spare.’

Furthermore, the couple might be looking to get closer to the Royal, whom Meghan treats as her ‘sister,’ according to Spare. According to royal expert Angela Levin, “Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank [are] there, and in Harry’s book, Spare, he said Meghan and Eugenie are like sisters.” Portugal is very safe, which relieves some tension from Prince Harry about the safety of his wife and kids.
The purchase of a home in Portugal also allows the couple to avail of the country’s ‘Golden Visa.’ The residency visa allows those who invest a minimum of €500,000 in local Portuguese businesses to travel visa-free in Europe’s Schengen Area. Residing in Portugal also means that the couple will remain close to the UK, with an eye on mending relationships in the future.
