Prince Harry and Meghan ‘Wouldn’t be Welcomed’ by Neighbors in Portuguese Town as Realtor Says ‘Richer and Much More Famous People’ Live There
Reports have been swirling recently that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle purchased a second home in Portugal.
Having a residence in Europe seemed to make sense as the Sussexes would have a base outside of the U.S. since they were evicted from Frogmore. It was also believed that the property they chose was right near Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, as she and her family spend half of the year in Portugal because of her husband’s job.
Some have wondered how having such high-profile people like the duke and duchess there would affect the posh resort area where their new home is located. But a real estate agent who practiced in the town has said Harry and Meghan will have “zero impact” because they already have “much more famous” celebrities there. However, a source says those big-name residents aren’t going to like having the prince and former Suits star living anywhere near them.
Real estate agent says no one cares about Sussexes because ‘much more famous people’ live there
Several reports have claimed that the Sussexes snatched up a villa in the luxury CostaTerra resort in Comporta situated on the coastline.
According to Express, a local estate agent, who has worked in the industry for decades, speculated Meghan and Harry would have shelled more than $4 million for a property in the charming villages found on Portugal’s west coast.
He said: “In recent years we have seen A-listers from the States buying homes or plots which are essentially closed environments. It’s very high-end and homes range from 4 million to 20 million euros. There have been rumors in recent months that Harry and Meghan are among the latest buyers. But it’s unclear if they have bought a home that is already built or if it is yet to be built.”
The agent also explained that having residents like the Sussexes won’t have any impact since bigger stars already reside there saying: “We have much richer and much more famous people buying here for sure. I think they will have zero impact, to be honest.”
Sources doubt the Sussexes bought a property because ‘neighbors wouldn’t like living by them’
However, a source, who spoke to The Times, doubts the story that Meghan and Harry even bought a property in Portugal because their prospective neighbors at CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club wouldn’t want them living nearby.
That source told the publication: “Everything is kept very tight here, but even so, we would have been made aware of the Sussexes if the story was accurate.
“Tom Holland, the actor, has a house here, and there are some Gulf Arab Sheiks. I don’t think they would like the Sussexes as neighbours — it would cause too much publicity.”
