According to Portuguese magazine Nova Gente, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received an invitation from Princess Eugenie, Harry's cousin, to make a brief visit to the village of Melides. Eugenie had been spending a significant amount of time in the village over the past year, primarily due to her husband Jack Brooksbank's work commitments.
The publication referred to this excursion as a "mega-secret operation," emphasizing that the former royals intentionally kept it under wraps, avoiding any publicity through the press or their social media channels.
Nova Gente reported, "After the Invictus Games finished, on Saturday, September 16, the couple headed to our country for a lightning trip. They arrived in Portugal without their children and, as soon as they landed, they headed to Alentejo and, more precisely, to Melides."
Prince Harry and Meghan are believed to have spent four days in Portugal before flying back to the United States to attend a charity event hosted by Kevin Costner on Friday, September 22. This visit has fueled speculation that the couple might be actively considering relocating from their home in Montecito to acquire a property at CostaTerra.
