Meghan Markle is getting an ugly gift she might not even know is coming. Prince Harry is on a transformative journey, striving to become a different and better man.
The former soldier is also searching for ways to get back into his father, King Charles III‘s heart.
Prince Harry has decided that there is only one way to accomplish these two missions — to cut Meghan Markle off — at least temporarily.
The Duke of Sussex has spent the summer away from Markle, traveling across three continents to become the son and statesman King Charles can be proud of.
The tour ended and Prince Harry has found a way to put even more distance between himself and Markle by pushing for a home in Europe.
The pair purchased a mansion in Portugal, which implies that Markle will spend more time in California and Prince Harry will split his time between Europe and the United States.
Prince Harry has made it abundantly clear that he misses his home, close friends, and the European way of life, so having a home in Portugal will allow him to visit the Old Continent more often than before without Markle.
Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun: “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.”
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, and I 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 the cost of living. Food in Portugal is very, very reasonably priced, and I can see many reasons why he would find that advantageous. Portugal is really right in the center of things. You can get anywhere very quickly from Portugal. It’s very accessible.”
Many royal journalists and experts confirmed that Prince Harry and Markle have quietly gone their separate ways career-wise because they no longer share the same vision.
Prince Harry is increasingly focused on philanthropy, while Markle is carving her path as a mogul and high-profile player in Hollywood.
The news of the couple’s splitting and their career has spread, with the local Montecito newspaper reporting on the chatter surrounding the couple about their “increasingly separate lives.”
For those who believed it was just chatter, PEOPLE Magazine has shockingly confirmed separation has occurred.
A source close to the couple revealed that their lives and marriages have evolved, leading to an increase in solo appearances and engagements.
The insider with close ties to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed: “It’s clear that a twin-track approach is evolving. The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals – not just as a couple. The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track.”
Many wonder, after separating their careers, time, and vision, what else will they split up?
Interesting that the media would have us believe that unless the Sussexes are in lock step at all times, they’re splitting up. George Clooney and his wife have totally separate careers, but no one goes around predicting they’re about to divorce.
