I must admit, the news that Harry and Meghan have reportedly bought a new home in Portugal really took me by surprise. Are they moving? Is one of them moving?
No, not quite (yet...)
Apparently, they've bought a holiday home, just 90 minutes south of Lisbon, to add to their property portfolio - which also comprises their £11 million Montecito mansion where the couple live with children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
The main reasons for doing so, I'm told, are two-fold.
First, they were introduced to the uber-exclusive CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club by Harry’s bestie and cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, who live there part of the year.
Perhaps Jack, who works in sales and marketing for the members-only resort, managed to negotiate a family discount on the rumoured starting point of €3.6 million.
The couples are super close; they were the first members of the Royal Family to meet Meghan when Jack and Eug, as she’s known, flew out to Toronto to celebrate Halloween with the pair at Soho House in 2016.
