Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently made headlines with their purchase of a $4.7 million residence in Portugal, which is rumored to be an “emergency escape plan” as they brace for potential changes under Donald Trump’s impending presidency in January 2025.
According to insider sources, the couple is preparing for a possible shift in the U.S. political landscape. “If Trump gets involved with Harry’s citizenship, things could unravel for them,” the source noted. This has led the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to secure a residence abroad as a safeguard.

Their new property is located within the exclusive Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club on Portugal’s stunning West Coast, not far from Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank. After a recent visit to Eugenie’s home south of Lisbon, Meghan and Harry decided to settle in this luxurious community, strengthening their ties with close family members.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams highlighted the significance of the Sussexes’ decision to move closer to part of the royal family, suggesting that their relationship with Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, has deepened as both sisters have shown increased support for Prince William at recent public events.
Concerns Over Harry’s Visa Status Under Trump’s Administration
Trump’s recent comments about Prince Harry’s U.S. visa have stirred up additional concern. The President-elect has hinted that the Duke’s 2020 visa application may come under scrutiny, particularly if any misinformation about prior drug use is discovered.
When questioned about the possibility of “special privileges” if Harry had been untruthful on his application, Trump replied, “No. If he lied, they’ll need to take appropriate action.” This remark has sparked conversations about the extent of the American president’s authority, especially in situations where visa status might be involved.
