Meghan, Prince Harry and their children reportedly spent part of their summer holiday on Portugal’s Melides coast, an affluent area described as the “Iberian Hamptons”. Images shared by Meghan showed beach, pool and restaurant visits, while keeping Archie and Lilibet’s faces out of view; the trip has drawn attention because Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank also have links to the area.

The Sussexes are believed to own a £6.3 million villa at CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, a 300-home development near Melides, although the article does not independently confirm this. A royal commentator said the holiday was likely coordinated with Eugenie’s family and indicated continued closeness, but this is interpretation rather than confirmed fact. Melides lies about an hour from Lisbon and is known for long Atlantic beaches, cliffs and extensive sunshine.
