Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's supposed secret romantic trip to Portugal is currently facing intense scrutiny, and doubts are arising regarding the authenticity of their getaway. According to reports, the couple embarked on a clandestine visit to Portugal following their participation in the Invictus Games in Germany. This covert escape allegedly occurred in the Alentejo region of the country, sandwiched between their trip to Dusseldorf and their return to the United States.
However, this supposed covert operation has raised eyebrows and led many to question the veracity of the story. Some have outright dismissed it, labeling it as "DFA" (Did Nothing Happen). The popular CBB Twitter account even shared an article about Harry and Meghan's vacation with the caption, "Not a single blurry photo from the public? How very strange." Commentators joined in expressing their skepticism, with one person stating, "Exactly, these two are in no way going to spend three days hidden away with each other." Another added, "Someone would have spotted them, which is why I don't believe this happened. It's just another 'let's pretend to the world that we're happy and in love'."
A third commenter concurred, stating, "No, they didn't. I don't believe it either." A fourth observer pointed out, "If they were there, we would have seen at least 30 pap shots of them being so in love and enjoying their time."
In a surprising twist, it has been suggested that Harry and Meghan crossed paths with Chris Evans and Alba Bautista during their secret trip to Portugal. The Hollywood newlyweds were reportedly on their honeymoon in Alba's homeland when they encountered the Sussexes. This clandestine gathering was revealed by a tipster to the celebrity gossip account "Countero" on Instagram. The tipster affirmed the presence of Chris Evans and Alba in Portugal during their honeymoon and noted their deep conversation with Harry and Meghan. It seemed that a particular bond was forming between Alba and Meghan.
However, doubts were raised in a follow-up story when someone emailed alleging that the reported double date was a fabrication, accusing it of being concocted by overly enthusiastic fans in denial about Chris and Alba's actual marital status. The anonymous admin of the account debunked this claim, revealing that the tip was sent by a person with a real name, adding credibility to its authenticity. Some speculated that the story was possibly concocted by Meghan herself, eager to associate her name with A-listers. The absence of paparazzi shots of Meghan alongside Chris Evans was cited as evidence against the double date.
While some believe that Harry and Meghan did indeed enjoy a romantic getaway, others raised concerns for different reasons. Meghan's recent speech at the Invictus Games, where she mentioned her parenting responsibilities as the reason for missing the opening ceremonies, led some to find it strange that she suddenly had the time for a romantic escape. Questions were raised about whether Meghan was genuinely in a hurry to return to her motherly duties, given her busy schedule just two weeks prior.
Lady C added her perspective, noting that she had been told that the only family members who still communicate with Meghan and Harry are Eugenie and Jack. Some suggested that the visit to Portugal might have been more of a reconciliation visit than a romantic one, and doubts about the authenticity of Meghan and Harry's statements continue to persist. Harry and Meghan's credibility has come into question, with many unsure about the true state of their marriage compared to its early days.
