Homeless No More! Harry and Meghan Snag Luxe Portugal Pad After Royal Eviction!

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace entry Postmark Francis. When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were evicted from their Windsor cottage by King Charles, they were left without a home in the UK. However, it seems the California based couple has secured a new foothold across the Atlantic. According to The Daily Mail, Prince Arian Meghan Markle have purchased a home in Portugal. The Sussexes aren't the only royals with tires to the country. Harry's cousin, Princess Eugenie, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, also own a home in Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club, a luxury development near Lisbon. Brooksbank, who works in marketing for Costa Terror, and Eugenie, split their time between Portugal and London with their two sons, August and Ernest. The purchase of the Portuguese home may have allowed the Sussexes to obtain a Golden visa, providing them with visa free access to the European Union's Sengen area.

1:08 This could be particularly appealing to Megan, a US citizen who had previously abandoned her bid for British citizenship after the couple left the UK in twenty twenty. The eviction from their UK residence, Frogmore Cottage followed the release of Prince Harry's controversial memoir Spare, which included criticism of the Royal family. The five bedroom property at Windsor was initially gifted to the couple by Queen Elizabeth in twenty eighteen, but remains part of the crown estate. After their departure, Frogmore was offered to Prince Andrew, who declined a move from his larger residence, Royal Lodge. While they may no longer have a British home, the Sussex's new property in Portugal ensures they retain a European base. Meghan Michael and Prince Harry reportedly left King Charles crushed with a major announcement back in twenty sixteen. The couple, who have now been married for six years, met in July twenty sixteen, but did not publicly confirm their relationship until four months later.

2:06 In October twenty sixteen, rumors about Harry's relationship status began to swirl, with a close friend of the Duke confirming to people that the pair had been dating for a couple of months. During this time, Charles, then the Prince of Wales, was preparing for a key diplomatic meeting with the King of Bahrain during a sensitive tour in the Persian Gulf. According to Ohmud, Scobi and can Durand, authors of Finding Freedom, Charles team had spent months organizing the tour, hoping for significant media coverage. However, the seventy five year old was reportedly crushed when Harry and Meghan not only confirmed their relationship but also criticized the press. Charles feared that the announcement would dominate the headlines and overshadow his tour.

2:48 The Mirror reported that Charles was given just twenty minutes notice before the statement was released confirming Harry's relationship with Megan. Finding Freedom states it was a critical moment that had been in the works for months. A statement from Kensington Palace condemning the press and in the same breath confirming Harry's new girlfriend would all but eliminate coverage of Prince charles tour of the golf. The authors added the team at Clarence House, which had spent months putting together Prince Charles's tour in the hopes that it would be covered significantly was crushed. Prince Harry was once the media darling and absolutely loved during his time as a working royal, according to Queen Elizabeth's former press secretary, Elissa Anderson, who served as press secretary to the late Queen from two thousand and one to thirteen, reflected on Harry's popularity in his earlier years, despite his current reputation as one of the least popular members of the royal family. Anderson recalls a different time when the Duke of Sussex was adored by the publican press speaking to the son, Anderson described Harry as a cheeky chappie and a war hero who had served in Afghanistan. If he speak to royal correspondents who have been in the job a long time, they all absolutely loved Harry, she said. Anderson contrasted Harry's charismatic and fun loving personality with his older brother, Prince William, who was more serious and shy. She explained, Harry was fun and intelligent, the life and soul of the party.

4:15 He couldn't do a thing wrong. Reflecting on her time working with Harry, Anderson shared a personal memory. I've got a photograph in my hall of Harry and I with our arms around each other outside a ladies loo. Don't read anything into this. It was hilarious. He was very happy to pose with a member of staff for a photograph. I can only speak from experience, but that was what he was like. The media is Darling. Anderson, who managed two jubilees, the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the birth of Prince George, added that recent royal crises have made her relieved to no longer be working for the royal family. Thank god, I'm not working for the firm anymore, she concluded. Royal biographer Hermit Scoby and his followers on X have been labeled as effing nuts in Mike Tindall's upcoming book. Tindall, the former rugby starr and husband of Zara Tindall, has co authored The Good, the Bad and the Rugby Unleashed with fellow former England rugby player James Haskell, which is said to be released on October twenty fourth. In the book, Haskell brands Scoby, co author of the twenty twenty book Finding Freedom, is a very odd bloke. Haskell didn't hold back, adding we all know that American Royal fans effing nuts, especially Scoby Yates.

Prince William rolled up his sleeves and got hands on during a visit to Dutchy College, Stoke, Clemsland in Cornwall, where he took part in a mock crime scene investigation with students.

The college offers a variety of land based degrees, including aquained Science, agriculture and horticulture, and supports eighty six courses across apprenticeships, degree programs and adult learning. William also stopped by a student run cafe and spoke with participants from the Future Farm Program, which is part of the latest addition to the college.

King Charles May be known for his role as minor, but he is also the owner of Buckingham Palace, often referred to as the world's most expensive house, the historic palace, which was previously owned by Queen Elizabeth I until her passing in twenty twenty two, has been valued as the most expensive property on the market despite not being for sale. Built in seventeen oh three, Buckingham Palace has undergone numerous renovations and expansions over the centuries. Since eighteen thirty seven, it has served as the official residence of British monarchs, continuing today as a venue for the royal family to host dignitaries and heads of state.

In addition to Buckingham Palace, the seventy five year old king owns several other high profile properties such as Windsor Castle, Saint James Palace and Kensington Palace. However, royal biographer Hugo Vickers has previously explained why King Charles doesn't stay at Buckingham Palace, regularly describing it as not really a home at all, Vickers wrote, it is a mixture of state rooms for formal occasions, officers for staff working there, with members of the royal family having rooms on different floors accessible from a series of corridors, rather like a hotel.

While King Charles continues to use Buckingham Palace for meetings traveling from his current residence at Clarence House, the iconic building is undergoing a decade long, three hundred and sixty nine million pounds taxpayer funded renovation.
