Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's European bolthole means they can lead 'separate lives' | Royal | NewsPrince Harry and Meghan Markle have been spending quite a bit of time apart lately With the paperback release of Spare due this week, Prince Harry’s latest chapter of public revelations appears to be winding down. After years of high-profile interviews, a tell-all memoir, and a Netflix series, Harry’s once-dominant media presence is beginning to fade. The question now is: what will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do to stay relevant in a world that seems to be moving on? One possibility is that the couple may begin to forge a more independent life from each other. Recently, Harry and Meghan purchased a villa in Portugal, conveniently close to his cousin, Princess Eugenie, sparking speculation about a possible return to Europe. Read more...

Harry’s recent solo appearances in New York, London, and South Africa - without Meghan by his side - raise questions about the future of their public life as a couple. Royal insiders and the public alike seem to have had enough of the couple’s public mudslinging. Meghan, once expected to make waves in Hollywood, hasn’t quite captured the interest many predicted, and the red carpets of Tinseltown remain largely out of reach. As for Harry, his candid memoir was a bestseller, but the explosive claims may have come at a price. The Royal Family has kept their distance, employing what some call an “ice them out” strategy that has left the Sussexes increasingly isolated. Despite Harry’s efforts to remain in the spotlight, including his ongoing legal battles over security in the UK, there seems to be less public appetite for their grievances. The Sussexes may find that their best bet now is to slowly mend fences with the Royal Family. After years of sensational interviews and accusations, this won’t be easy. From the Oprah tell-all to the stinging criticisms in Spare, the couple has not held back. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle toured Colombia together in August The Royal Family, on the other hand, has shown a masterful ability to keep their focus on other priorities. King Charles and Queen Camilla are currently on a high-profile tour of Australia and Samoa, paying no attention to the re-release of Harry’s memoir, even as it coincides with their important appearances. The timing of Spare’s paperback release - set for October 24 in the UK - might have been intended to draw attention, but the Royals and even the media seem somewhat unbothered. According to sources, the King has “much bigger things to focus on” as he works to solidify the monarchy’s place in a modern Commonwealth. Still, some suspect Harry and Meghan may look to ease back into royal circles, starting with those closest to them. Their newly purchased villa in Portugal, just steps from Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, might be more than just a holiday home - it could be a stepping stone to rebuilding royal relationships. This £3.6 million investment in Europe may also hint at a more long-term strategy to remain relevant in Britain and among the royals, especially as their public influence seems to be waning. In the end, Harry and Meghan may regret how they’ve handled their post-royal life. They dominated headlines for years, but at the cost of burning bridges. Prince Harry was invited to King Charles's coronation Now, with fewer platforms to amplify their voices and fewer public appearances to draw attention, they face the difficult task of staying relevant. Whether they can find a way to reintegrate into royal life, or chart a new path of their own, remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the spotlight they once commanded is starting to dim. As the paperback version of Spare soon hits the shelves and the Royal Family continues its business as usual, Harry and Meghan will need to carefully consider their next move. For now, the door to reconciliation remains slightly ajar - but whether they choose to step through it, and whether they’ll be welcomed back, is another question entirely.
