They have reportedly been staying with Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank at their holiday home in Melides on Portugal’s Atlantic coast.
It is understood Harry and Meghan also went house hunting during the three-night break.
Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun: “There are two reasons why Harry and Meghan might go to Portugal.
“One of them is the one that you mentioned that because he’s very close to Princess Eugenie, his cousin.
“They get on very well together. They seem to be the main members of the family who are still very much in touch with Prince Harry.
“The other reason is that there is always this fear that if Donald Trump gets re-elected as President, he will move Prince Harry from America.
“It’s exactly the sort of thing that he would do, because first of all, it would show his strength and his power. To show that he can do it.
“He has been irritated, I think, in the past by things that Meghan Markle has said about him, and probably Prince Harry as well.
“He would be completely in his rights to do that, and so they might be looking for an alternative residence.”
The purchase may allow the Sussexes to acquire a “Golden Visa”, where they would have access to the EU’s Schengen area.
It would give them a base to stop off at whenever they make transatlantic flights to see friends and family or appear at events.
Hugo added: “Portugal’s very accessible to all parts of Europe, whereas California is a long way away.
“Maybe he doesn’t like the Californian way of life, I would imagine that would be quite alien to him.
“So I think there are many other reasons why he might wish to settle there.
“It may just be that they want an alternative, an extra home, to go to in the summer.
“If they’re making lots of money, maybe they can afford to have two bases.
“He may well have enormous advantages, probably from the tax point of view, and also from cost of living.
“Food in Portugal is very, very reasonably priced, and I can see many reasons why he would find that advantageous.
“Obviously, Portugal is really right in the center of things. You can get anywhere very quickly from Portugal. It’s very accessible.”
ROYAL PALS
The expert added that Princess Eugenie could be key to Harry’s plans to re-enter the royal fold.
Hugo said: “It’s very striking that Eugenie and Prince Harry have this great bond of friendship.
“Certainly she’s been over to California. We’ve seen pictures of her with him.
“Obviously she is right in there, and that has to be a really good thing, because she’s a very nice girl, and they get on well together.
“We don’t know to what extent there is any sort of relationship between Harry and the King at the moment.
“I mean, the King’s got a lot of things to get on with. Apart from getting well, he’s got his big tour to Australia.
“He’s got all the things that kings have to do, and I suspect the message we’re getting is that Harry just needs to sort himself out.
“I mean, the King’s not going to waste much time concerning himself with his issues.
“But he’s left the door wide open for him should Harry ever wish to return.”
HARRY’S TRIPS
The couple’s Portugal break comes after they attended the Invictus Games in Germany before heading back to the US to see their children Archie, five, and three-year-old Lilibet.
They are understood to have flown from Dusseldorf to Lisbon before driving an hour south to the coastal town of Melides, in the Alentejo region.
Earlier this year, they undertook two “faux royal” trips to Africa and Colombia.
Since then Harry has been on his own solo world tour, including stop offs in New York, the UK and a return to Africa.
It comes as the King and Queen Camilla are heading to Australia and Samoa tomorrow for an action-packed nine days.
According to a royal expert the Sussexes’ trip became a “catalyst” for leaving their roles as senior working roles and relocating to America.
They stepped down as working royals in March 2020 and have since fuelled a major rift with many members of the Firm thanks to controversial tell-all interviews and Harry’s memoir Spare.
It was leased to Eugenie and her husband in 2020 after the Sussexes moved to the US.
The Duke and Duchess purchased their first home together, a sprawling, nine-bedroomed property in Montecito, California, in June 2020 for $14.6 million (£11.2 million).
The 16-bath home is located in a star-studded enclave in California and sits on 5.4 acres of land.
Fit for royalty, it features a library, office, spa, gym, game room, wine cellar and five-car garage, it’s believed.
There is even a chicken coop with “Archie’s Chick Inn”, which has rescue hens.
Despite the home sounding like a dream pad, it does come with a lot of work, according to Eric Bramlett, realtor and owner of Bramlett Residential in Austin, Texas.
Speaking to Fabulous, Eric shared: “Managing a $14million mansion like Harry and Meghan’s in Montecito takes a lot of work.
“Even for modern luxuryhomes that big, you need a good-sized staff and high operating costs.
“A house with 9 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a pool, tennis court, and guesthouse probably needs around 10-15 full-time staff.
“That could include housekeepers, a house manager, private chef, and likely some security because they are famous.
“Just paying the staff salaries, utilities, landscaping, maintenance, security, and more could easily cost hundreds of thousands per year.
“Big renovations and repairs like roofing, HVAC, appliances would cost even more sometimes.”
He added that the grounds – including the pool, trees and tennis court – will require groundsmen and professional help.
Eric continued: “It’s like running a small boutique hotel with residential service.”
The Sun has contacted the Sussexes’ representatives for comment.
Rita has been a judge on the celebrity competition programme since its inception in 2020.
Instead, Love Island host Maya Jama is poised to join the panel after Rita Ora quit the show after five series due to a mystery film project.
A TV insider said: “This is a huge deal for Maya, who’s now one of telly’s fastest- rising stars. It puts her in front of a huge Saturday night audience every week on a show watched by everyone from kids to pensioners.
“Up to now she’s had a following which is very young due to Love Island, but signing for The Masked Singer would take her career into a whole new league.”
Rita previously appeared on the panel of The Masked Singer US when she filled in for Nicole Scherzinger.
The former X Factor judge was in the London production of musical Sunset Boulevard.

There are lots of places you can find gin Advent calendars online as well as in stores.
We recommend shopping online as that’s where you’ll find the largest selection.

Plus, internet shopping means you won’t have to suffer the arm ache of carrying your boozy advent calendars home from the store.
The following stockists generally carry a selection of gin Advent calendars:
Advent calendars can vary in price, depending on the contents, but boozy Advent calendars are at the higher end of the spectrum.
Gin Advent calendars are available at a range of price points.
For calendars containing 12 mini gins, expect to pay somewhere from £30 to £40.
Gin Advent calendars with 24 mini bottles and a larger selection of flavours will typically cost in the range of £70 to £100.
There are a number of factors which can impact the price, such as the brand, the contents, and the sizes of the gin bottles inside the Advent calendar.
What is a gin Advent calendar?
Much like a chocolate Advent calendar, a gin version will feature a set number of doors for you to open in the run-up to Christmas – each with a treat inside (gin, naturally).
Most gin calendars come with a selection of servings from different artisans and brands, so they’re a great way to sample new flavours or discover your new favourite gin distillery.
Some gin Advent calendars include three, four, 12 or the full 24 samples inside, so every day, or every other day, in the run-up to December 25th, shoppers will open a window to find their surprise tipple inside.

3 weeks agoNewsComments Off on Inside Liam Payne’s ‘erratic’ final days in Argentina before his tragic death at 31
LIAM Payne sparked concern among staff and his fans in the hours and days before his untimely death.
The pop star died suddenly after falling from a height at his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wedneday.
TikTok/@liampayneLiam Payne’s final few days in Argentina have been described as ‘erratic’ – his last TikTok showed him sing a One Direction tune[/caption]
TikTokLiam flew first class to South America[/caption]
Hotel Casa Sur in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Palermo in Argentina
He travelled to the country to watch One Direction co-star Niall Horan on tour, after joking with fans that he wanted to “square up a couple of things” with his former bandmate.
While out there he extended his stay, and during the trip Liam shared videos of himself with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy dancing along to Niall’s music at the Movistar Arena.
He also posted a photo with Niall, writing over the top “Reunited.”
After two weeks away, American actress Kate, 25, revealed she was ready to leave and decided to head home on October 14.
She explained on TikTok: “Honestly, love South America but I hate staying in one place for too long. And we were supposed to be there for, like, five days, turned into two weeks.
“I was just like, ‘I need to go home’.”
She added: “I was so happy to be home. It was so relieving.”
He appeared topless as they cosied up together for a mirror selfie.
After she left, Liam spent evenings posting on social media and incredibly, paying into sick children’s GoFundMe accounts live on social media.
He also took photos with fans outside his hotel, and one photo – said to be his last – saw him returning to his CasaSur hotel room in the neighbourhood of Palermo.
On the day of Liam’s death, a frantic 911 call made by a worker at hotel Casa Sur revealed he had been “behaving erratically”, and witnesses claimed he had to be carried back to his room after smashing his latop.
In the call, the worker said: “Hello good afternoonm, I’m calling from CasaSur hotel in Palermo.
“We have a guest who is off his head on drugs and alcohol, and well, when he is conscious he is destroying everything in the room.
The pictures appeared to show white powder and burnt aluminium foil.
TRAGIC HOLIDAY
The dad-of-one told fans about the trip in a video on Snapchat, which fans asked him if he was “OK”.
He had started rambling that him and his friend “needed to talk”, and speculated on a feud within the band.
The Snapchat was shared not long after Liam’s friends told The Sun they feared he was “spiralling out of control”.
A source said: “Liam’s behaviour has been concerning many in his inner circle for months.
“For a while things seemed to be looking up for him but over the past year there are fears he is spiralling.
Tributes to Liam Payne
SHOCKED friends, family and fans have paid heartbreaking tributes to Liam as news of the singer's death circulated across the world.
Harry Styles’ mum Anne was among the first from One Direction’s camp to share her reaction, posting a photo of Liam and writing ‘Just a boy…’ alongside a broken heart emoji.
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden shared an image of the pair together with the words: “Such an awful tragedy.
“Sending love to his family and all those who loved him.”
X Factor star Olly Murs told fans he was “devastated” and “lost for words”.
He wrote on social media: “Liam shared the same passions as me, the same dreams so to see his life now end so young hits hard, I’m truly gutted and devastated for his Family and of course his son Bear losing a dad x”.
Liam Gallaghersaid he was “very sad” and told his followers on X: “Life is precious Kids, you only get to do it once, go easy.”
He said: “I remember him as a 14 year old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing.
“He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.”
BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball reacted to the “devastating news” on her show today and told fans she hugged her own son Woody tight this morning.
JLS band member Marvin Humes reflected on his memories with the singer, sharing: “I first met Liam in 2008 with the JLS boys whilst auditioning for X Factor..he was 14 years old..
“We instantly clicked and looked at him as a little brother..that year it worked out for us but not for him and then 2 years later he went back to audition and One Direction was born..the rest is history..
“Absolutely heartbroken by the tragic news..Liam you wanted to be a global superstar and you did it bro..just can’t believe that things have ended this way..it’s shocking..my thoughts and prayers are with all your family and friends brother..RIP.”
Niall Horan’s brother Greg shared an emotional tribute to Liam, praising him as a “top young man”.
He added: “You will be forever missed. Liam, words can’t describe how much I want to grab my brother and mind him now while the world shows their memories of you and him and the boys.
“My heart goes out to your family parents and sisters and your son Bear and your 1D brothers.
“10th October we met and we started out that evening as 5 families into one big one 1D family thank you for all the laughs bro watch down on all your family and mind them lots of love kiddo x x x 1D 4 LIFE x x x”
German DJ Anton Zaslavski, otherwise known as Zedd, has taken to X with a devastated statement.
The producer, who worked with Liam on his 2017 hit Get Low, wrote: “RIP Liam… I can’t believe this is real…absolutely heartbreaking…”
American singer,Charlie Puth, who was friends with Liam and also collaborated with him on a song called Bedroom Floor, has posted a series of Instagram stories dedicated to him.
Alongside photos of the two of them together in their younger days, Charlie wrote: “I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me.
“He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone…
“I am so upset right now, may he rest in peace. I am so sorry…”
Irish singer duo Jedwardalso took to social media, saying: “RIP Liam Payne. Condolences to friends and family.”
In another tweet, they added: “Sending strength to Cheryl and his son Bear. And all the One direction Family. RIP Liam Payne.”
American media personality Paris Hilton shared: “So upsetting to hear the news of Liam Payne passing. Sending love and condolences to his family & loved ones. RIP my friend.”
ITV weather presenter Alex Beresford shared a news video about Liam’s tragic death on Instagram, adding: “Can’t believe this! RIP Liam.”
Meanwhile Love Island star Molly Marsh penned: “I’m so taken aback, rest in peace.”
“Everyone wants the best for him but things are erratic to say the least.”
HORROR PREDICTION
Some of Liam’s inner circle started to worry that he was “spiralling out of control” with his ex-fiancee Maya Henry adding to the claims this week.
Maya, 23, dated Liam for three years before they split in 2022.
In a podcast interview two days ago, she said her ex had reached out to her in worrying phone calls and had created fake accounts to contact her.
Speaking on The Internet is Dead podcast, she said: “There was one time I tried to get him help, but he was not taking it.”
She added: “He would always message me after we broke up, he would say, ‘I’m not well’.
“He would always play with death, and be like ‘well I’m going to die, I’m not doing well’
“I know the lifestyle that he lives and there is a day that something is going to happen.
“So I would always be like, OK, he’s saying these things, I am going to have to help him because I am not going to be able to live with myself if something happens to him”.
LIAM’S FAMILY SPEAK OUT
Liam’s family have released a statement following the shock passing of the superstar.
In a statement, Liam’s family said: “We are heartbroken. Liam will forever live in our hearts and we’ll remember him for his kind, funny and brave soul.
“We are supporting each other the best we can as a family and ask for privacy and space during this awful time.”

Man Utd chiefs are looking to submit their plans before the end of the year in the hope work can began in early 2025.
But some football fans were quick to mock the images as they compared the venue to various less-than-impressive objects.
One social media user said: “It looks like a dishwasher tablet.”
While another added: “Why does it look like a boiled sweet.”
A third replied: “From the top it’s a dishwasher tablet. From the side it’s a cheesecake.”
And a fourth responded: “Looks like a one of those toilet bowl you get while you’re in hospital and can’t walk to the bathroom .”
It is thought that the work could take up to three years to complete.
This would mean that the earliest the Red Devils would be playing in their new ground would be 2028.

ISRAEL are investigating claims they may have assassinated elusive Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in an airstrike.
Gaza’s Bin Laden, 61, has been Israel’s main target ever since he masterminded the horrific October 7 massacre with fresh reports saying he might have finally been eliminated.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has vowed to destroy the terror kingpin with him escaping from their clutches for months.
An IDF statement earlier today announced their potential mammoth scalp.
They said: “During an activity by IDF fighters in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were killed.
“The IDF and Shin Bet are investigating the possibility that one of the terrorists is Yahya Sinwar.
“At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed.”
Graphic photos are being widely shared online which appear to show Sinwar’s dead body underneath rubble.
He has a catastrophic head wound and what appears to be a blown up leg.
Last man standing Sinwar spent half of his adult life in Israeli prisons, has a reputation as a ruthless leader and is now the most powerful target left on Israel’s kill list.
The terror boss is believed to have been in hiding in tunnels under the city to evade the IDF, transport weapons and even hold hostages.
