Future of Duke and Duchess of Sussex Hangs in Balance Amid Visa Speculations
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s future in the United States is reportedly under review as questions surrounding the Duke’s immigration status and their long-term plans continue to mount.
Harry, who has spent increasing time outside the US recently, is said to be weighing relocation options, fuelled by speculation about potential deportation following Donald Trump’s presidential victory and scrutiny over his admission of past drug use in Spare.
Adding to the rumours, reports suggest the couple has purchased a property in Portugal, raising questions about whether they are preparing for a major move. An insider close to the pair confirmed that “Harry and Meghan won’t compromise on Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s future.”
The source added, “It seems difficult for them to raise their children in a country where they feel uncomfortable for various reasons. The UK offers an ideal environment for their upbringing, but the couple’s rift with the royal family remains a significant hurdle to their return.”
Amid the uncertainty, the Duke and Duchess reportedly plan to celebrate Christmas in Montecito, possibly marking their final holiday in the California home.
Royal experts believe Harry’s solo trip to Canada to promote the Invictus Games signals his openness to exploring a new chapter abroad. Some suggest Harry may ultimately leave the US, citing his desire to raise his children in a setting better aligned with his values and concerns.
For now, the Sussexes appear to be balancing their future plans against the challenges of their current circumstances, leaving the question of where they will ultimately settle unanswered.
