After their week in Dusseldorf, the Sussexes decided to have a quick romantic getaway in the village of Melides in the Alentejo region of Portugal, where Eugenie and Jack have a home. The visit was initially kept under wraps, but it has since been confirmed by the head of the Alentejo tourist board.
Despite their strained relationship with most of the royal family, Harry revealed that he remains close to Eugenie and shared snippets of their days out in his $100 million Netflix series last December. The Portuguese magazine Novigente reported that the Sussexes' visit was a highly secretive operation, and they departed Portugal on a British Airways flight to London Heathrow on September 20th, accompanied by two bodyguards.
Meghan was described as looking tired following a busy week at the Invictus Games, wearing a dress with cropped sleeves and flat shoes, with her hair in a ponytail.
After reports emerged about their visit to Maldives, Jose's son, Toy Soi, the head of the Alentejo tourism board, confirmed that Harry and Meghan were indeed in Alentejo, staying at the Costa Terra Gulf and Ocean Club resort. He mentioned that it was a short stay and suggested they enjoyed their time in the region.
While the specific details of their visit remain unknown, it's clear that they had a range of great experiences available in the area. The Alentejo tourism board sees their visit as international recognition of the region's tourist quality, particularly the Alentejo coast, which is expected to become one of Europe's main coastal destinations.
However, some have questioned the couple's extended travels and lack of urgency to return to their children, Archie and Lili. This has led to speculations and conspiracy theories suggesting that their children might not be real. Critics argue that Harry and Meghan have been known to use staged and manipulated photos for public appearances, fueling doubts about the authenticity of their family life.
