Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly purchased a new European vacation home after King Charles III kicked them out of Frogmore Cottage.
According to the Daily Mail, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex snagged a property somewhere in Portugal where Harry’s relatives — Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank — also own a getaway estate north of Lisbon.
The splurge might lead to the “Suits” alum applying for a Golden Visa, allowing the US-born actress to access the 26 Schengen countries in Europe, including Italy, Spain and Greece, without restriction.
Reps for the couple weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

At the time, an insider told the US Sun that the 75-year-old king started the eviction process in January 2023, one day before Harry released his bombshell memoir, “Spare,” containing several allegations about his family.
“This eviction surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK,” a source said.

The royals were officially packed and moved out of the cottage in June of that year, and Prince Andrew was allegedly appointed the estate.
Amongst the items they took back to the US with them were reportedly gifts from the late Queen Elizabeth II.
