Harry and Meghan’s European holiday home

On October 16, a UK-based outlet revealed that Harry and Meghan, who currently reside in their Montecito mansion in California, have joined the list of royals, including Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, in owning a Portuguese property. This purchase allows the couple to maintain a presence in Europe, with the added benefit of visa-free access to the Schengen area, made possible by Portugal’s “Golden Visa” program.

Markle who got engaged to Prince Harry in 2017, planned to apply for British citizenship.

According to reports after Harry and Meghan decided to step back from their royal duties and moved to the U.S. two years after their wedding, Meghan abandoned her bid to become a British citizen. Since they left the UK less than two years after their wedding, Meghan never completed the process of gaining citizenship. Now, after giving up their official British residence, it seems the couple was looking to establish a home in Europe, possibly using Portugal’s “Golden Visa” program.

Harry’s cousin owns a luxurious property in the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, situated by the sea in Melides, south of Lisbon, according to the outlet. Jack, who works in marketing and sales for the development, splits his time between Portugal and London with Eugenie and their two children, August and Ernest.
