DUKE AND DUCHESS OF SUSSEX IN LUXURYPORTUGUESE Retreat: Is 'Plan B' for Royal Fiasco?

LONDON, ENGLAND - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made a multimillion-dollar move to Europe, splurging over $4.7 million on a lavish home in Portugal's CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club. According to sources close to the couple, their decision is motivated by a desire for an "emergency escape" from the tensions that have been brewing against them.

Insiders reveal that Donald Trump's recent public sparring with Meghan Markle was a pivotal factor in her husband's sudden urge to leave the United States and start anew. The wealthy businessman has frequently targeted the Sussex couple in his rhetoric, fuelling speculation about why they are now trading their London home for life in Europe.

However, experts warn that the true allure of Portugal lies not just in its appealing landscapes but also in its immigration regulations. To fully settle in Europe, Meghan and Harry must navigate a tricky citizenship process: obtaining EU residency permits under British rules before formally switching allegiance.

Meanwhile, concerns are growing over the Duke's uncertain US immigration status, following his candid admissions to using recreational substances as revealed in his memoir Spare. Given Trump's earlier threats of deporting Harry over visa issues, sources close to the royal family acknowledge that these developments have raised new doubts about the couple's ability to maintain ties with their former life.

In an effort to balance both worlds, Meghan and Harry have been living temporarily in Montecito, California. However, friends suggest they will eventually require a 'Plan B' exit as tensions surrounding Trump's anti Sussex diatribes are becoming increasingly severe.
