The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have bought one of 300 soon-to-constructed residences at the CostaTerrs Golf and Ocean Club, about 81 miles outside of Lisbon, which set back with an exceptional $4.7 million. And now, a former palace staffer has shed light on why the couple might be looking to spread their horizons.

As per King Charles’ former personal butler, Grant Harrold, the Duke and Duchess’ move to Europe shows they want to return to the UK. While speaking to the New York Post, he said, “There’s so many people that move away and move back, so I don’t think there’d be anything unusual about Harry and Meghan leaving the US for Europe.” Harrold also mentioned that there’s no obvious reason for choosing Portugal since royals do set up overseas, too.
The former staffer added, “Some have historically moved to France. Princess Margaret used to spend a lot of time in Mauritius, so Harry would be following in the footsteps of other royals who have done something similar.” But before they move to Portugal, they will have to obtain European Union citizenship.
