Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest move could prove one particular thing about their relationship with the Royal Family, a royal commentator has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly bought a “holiday home” somewhere in Portugal, where Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank have their own home in the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club in Melides.

While it’s not known whether Eugenie inspired the Sussexes’s decision to buy a property in Portugal, royal expert Jennie Bond claimed the move could be seen as bid for the Sussex children to have some type of link to their royal family.

She told OK!: “I think it perhaps suggests that they DO want their children to know at least some of their UK family. It will be good for Archie and Lilibet to spend time with their little cousins, and Eugenie will remain an important link between Harry and the rest of his family.”

She added: “I don’t know quite why they feel they need to buy a place….especially given that Harry has complained about lack of money in the past…..rather than just stay with Jack and Eugenie or rent a place, but it suggests that they intend to spend more time on this side of the Atlantic. And that’s a positive move because it implies that the children won’t be solely immersed in American culture and will have a better understanding of their European roots.”
