Harry and Meghan’s Portugal Home Purchase Sparks Speculation About Family Plans

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to buy a luxury holiday home in Portugal has sparked interest and speculation among royal watchers, with one expert suggesting the move could signal more public appearances involving their children, Archie and Lilibet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new property is located near the home of Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, a move that highlights Harry’s close bond with his cousin, according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.

Speaking to GB News, Fitzwilliams said the purchase could pave the way for the Sussexes’ children to spend more time with Eugenie and Jack’s kids, strengthening family ties. “Will we see Archie and Lili meet with Eugenie and Jack’s children and so on? And how will that work out? We’ve yet to know,” Fitzwilliams remarked.

He also emphasized the significance of Harry’s relationship with Eugenie. “The link with Eugenie is interesting, as she and Harry are quite close,” Fitzwilliams explained. “They’ve seen quite a bit of each other, so there are a lot of question marks there.” The expert hinted that the Sussexes may have strategic plans for the Portugal property, suggesting the family could use the setting to make carefully curated appearances.

“If the Sussexes decide to let us see Archie and Lili, we haven’t seen much of them,” Fitzwilliams continued. “Maybe with Eugenie and Jack and their family and so on, that will make a splash.” While Harry and Meghan have largely kept their children out of the public eye, Fitzwilliams believes the Portugal home purchase could serve as a backdrop for future moments that resonate with their supporters and media alike.

“The Sussexes know what they’re doing with that Portugal purchase. We haven’t seen anything yet, but we will in time,” Fitzwilliams concluded. The move to Portugal comes as the Sussexes continue to balance their desire for privacy with their ongoing public presence.

With Harry’s bond with Eugenie remaining one of his strongest royal family connections, the new property could signify a deliberate step toward fostering familial relationships. Whether or not the purchase leads to more public glimpses of Archie and Lilibet, it’s clear the Sussexes’ decisions remain closely watched, fueling continued fascination with their life post-royal duties.
