The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have bought a new home in the popular celebrity resort in Alentejo, Portugal.

Meghan Markle told Prince Harry she was “Hollywood’s savvy wheeler-dealer who could make them stars”, one royal commentator has claimed.

Tina Brown, who was friends with Princess Diana and wrote her biography in 2007, claimed that Meghan persuaded Harry of her Hollywood influence.

She said: “She persuaded him that she was the savvy Hollywood wheeler-dealer who could come in and make them stars and all the rest of it.

“He just sort of blindly followed her like a child, really.”

The former editor of Vanity Fair thought the couple’s new home in Portugal “could be a very nice way to” the Royal Family again.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently bought a new property in Alentejo next to Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank.

Royal expert Hugo Vickers also believes this move will “keep these avenues of communication open”.

He believes the couple’s close relationship with Harry’s cousin, Eugenie, “could be a wonderful route” into the Royal Family and help mend his fractured relationship with his older brother, Prince William.

It is thought that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, will split their time between their new purchase and their California property, which they are keeping.

Mr Vickers said: “I think what you say about you know the connection between the Brooksbank children and Prince Harry’s children could be very significant as the years go on, because they will know their cousins as they grow up.

“That could be a very nice way in.

“I have always thought that it’s very sad for Archie and Lilibet that that one day it’ll dawn on them that their cousin is going to be the King of England one day, and normally you’d really rather like to get involved with all that I would have thought, it could be a very interesting extension to life, and so that could be a wonderful route in.

He added: “I think that’s a very significant point.

GB News Digital Royal Editor Svar Nanan-Sen believes that despite the couple purchasing the home in Europe, their “return to the UK is further away than ever.”

Tina added that despite being in the royal family, Harry is “so naive and really unschooled in the ways of the world” and compared him to a “Lamb to the slaughter.”

She claimed that Harry was “terribly impressed by Meghan,” and “thought that she knew all.”
