Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been in Europe for several days. After the end of the Invictus Games, a sporting event that he has been sponsoring for years, the couple did not return to their Californian villa. They embarked on a secret trip to Portugal for a specific purpose.

Prince Harry left the German city of Düsseldorf in mid-September, where he had been participating in events accompanying the sports event Invictus Games, organized by his foundation, for a week. After a few days, Meghan Markle flew to join her husband, spending time with him and delighting numerous photographers present with radiant smiles. However, keen observers of the famous couple suggested that it was a smokescreen intended to divert the media's attention away from serious cracks in their marriage.

Harry and Meghan went to a secret meeting in Portugal

The Duchess and Duke of Sussex have departed from Germany to Western Europe. A visit to Portugal was not part of their official itinerary. As revealed by the magazine "Nova Gente," Harry and Meghan arrived in the charming village of Melides, 130 km away from Lisbon, home to the granddaughter of the queen who died last year, Princess Eugenia.

The 39-year-old has always had a good relationship with his cousin sister. Evidence of their strong family ties includes her invitation to participate in a documentary about Harry and Meghan as the only member of the British royal family. Unlike many people in the couple's closest circles, the princess did not turn her back on them, and over time she even accepted her cousin's decision to step down from official duties and move across the ocean.

World media tried to outline a conflict between Princess Eugenie and Meghan Markle, who allegedly overshadowed the birth of her son Augustus by revealing information about her second pregnancy. In reality, the women share a warm relationship, and Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter has been rooting for Harry and his wife's marital happiness from the beginning.

After many months of separation, they met again in their shared family circle. However, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex preferred to keep their private visit to Portugal a tight secret. A visit to one of the few friendly people in the British monarchy's environment undoubtedly helped them relax from the escalating rumors about a crisis in their relationship. On the trip, they also decided to take a break from parental duties.
