Prince Harry Targeted by Local Estate Agent’s Quip Amid Rumours of Alentejo Property Purchase
Prince Harry has recently found himself the subject of a sly remark from a local estate agent in Alentejo, Portugal, following rumors of a property purchase in the region. The estate agent, who has been working in the area for decades, speculated on the possible price of a residence that Harry and Meghan Markle may have bought, sharing his thoughts with The Daily Mail.
According to the agent, properties in exclusive resorts like the one in question typically come with a hefty price tag, often reaching millions of euros. He explained, “In recent years, we have seen A-listers from the States buying homes or plots in these closed environments. It’s very high-end, and homes range from four to 20 million euros.”
While he acknowledged that rumors have circulated about Harry and Meghan being among the latest buyers, he noted there is uncertainty surrounding whether the couple purchased an existing home or a plot for a future build. “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 remarked.
However, the estate agent was quick to downplay any potential impact the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might have on the area, implying that their presence wouldn’t make much of a difference compared to other high-profile individuals. “We have much richer and much more famous people buying here for sure. I think they will have zero impact, to be honest,” he said, delivering a subtle jab.
The agent further added, “If someone like Jeff Bezos bought here, then yes, there could be some impact – but not Harry and Meghan,” slipping in a final, sly dig at the couple’s perceived influence in comparison to other A-listers.
Despite the estate agent’s comments, rumors continue to swirl about whether Harry and Meghan have indeed purchased a home in the region. Their potential investment in Portugal would add them to a growing list of American celebrities who have sought privacy and exclusivity in the European country. However, the estate agent’s remarks suggest that, in his eyes, the Sussexes are just another addition to the area’s roster of wealthy homeowners, with little to no significant impact on the local market.
This subtle jab reflects the mixed reception that Harry and Meghan continue to receive as they navigate their post-royal lives. Whether or not they have indeed acquired a property in Portugal, the commentary surrounding them remains as intriguing as ever.
