Duke and Duchess of Sussex 'buy holiday home in Portugal'
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have reportedly snapped up a holiday home in Portugal following a holiday in the country last year.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have reportedly bought a holiday home in Portugal.
The couple live in California with their two children, but the Daily Mail newspaper's Richard Eden reports they have now snapped up a base in Europe following a three-night break in Portugal last year after visiting Germany to attend the Invictus Games.
The publication reports Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank also own a place in Portugal and split their time between their home in the UK and their property in the sun.
Harry and Meghan previously lived in Frogmore Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle before stepping back as senior royals moving to North America.
They were offered the house by the late Queen Elizabeth after their wedding in 2018 but they were subsequently asked to hand back the keys by King Charles last year and they moved out the last of their belongings in June 2023 leaving them without a base in Europe.
The cottage had been leased to Eugenie and her husband, but subsequent reports suggested the property had been offered to Prince Andrew, who turned down a move from his longterm home at the nearby Royal Lodge.
Harry previously wrote about his love for the cottage in his book 'Spare' revealing he always thought the couple were "destined" to live there.
He wrote: "Meg and I moved our office into Buckingham Palace. We also moved into a new home. Frogmore was ready. We loved that place.
"From the first minute. It felt as if we were destined to live there. We couldn't wait to wake up in the morning, go for a long walk in the gardens, check in with the swans. Especially grumpy Steve.
"We met the Queen's gardeners, got to know their names and the names of all the flowers. They were thrilled at how much we appreciated, and praised, their artistry."
