Prince Harry and Meghan Markle snapped up a plush pad in Portugal to have an “emergency escape solution” when President-elect Donald Trump moves into the White House, according to a report.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly splurged on one of 300 soon-to-be-constructed residences at the 722-acre CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club — a plush development about 81 miles south of Lisbon.
The pair allegedly forked over more than $4.7 million on the purchase.
Trump’s deep dislike of the Sussexes has sent them into a tailspin and forced them to reconsider their options, according to a source close to the situation.
“The wheels could really come off for Harry and Meghan if Trump decides to get involved with his [Harry’s] citizenship so that’s why they have purchased overseas,” a source told RadarOnline. “They needed a Plan B.”
Still, it’s not all smooth sailing for Harry and the “Suits” alum, 43.
Before the duo enjoys their new life in Portugal, they face one major hurdle: obtaining European Union citizenship.
Such citizenship would allow the couple to travel freely through the Schengen Area, which covers 29 countries and over 1.7 million square miles.
Earlier this month, The Post exclusively revealed that the couple purchased the sprawling property in Europe because life in the US did not end up being “what they thought it would be.”
Indeed, Harry being locked in a legal battle involving his immigration status has added some stress to the couple’s life in sunny California.
The insider adds that the duke’s US citizenship application could be thrown out by Trump, who had previously gone on record saying he’d consider deporting Harry, 40, because of drama over his visa.
The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes for comment.
In his protocol-shattering tell-all memoir “Spare,” released in 2023, he admitted to taking illegal drugs (cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms) — which would be grounds for his visa application to be rejected.
The father of two and his wife have been living in Montecito, Calif., since quitting royal life in 2020. Meghan, 43, is a US citizen, while Harry has been vying to become one — and has even listed the US as his primary residence on official documents.
The Heritage Foundation conservative think tank has sought Harry’s visa records, arguing that the second son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana could not have legally entered the US due to his drug use.
A judge has since ruled that Harry’s visa application will remain private.
Trump, 78, first threatened to throw the exiled royal out of the country in February while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.
“I wouldn’t protect him,” Trump said at the time. “He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own.”
The incoming president always spoke fondly of the late monarch, calling her an “incredible woman” in 2018.
He has also criticized President Biden’s administration for being “too gracious” to the Sussexes since the duo made their trans-Atlantic move to the US.
His son Eric Trump has also been vocal about his dislike for the couple, saying he’d be happy to see them be sent out of America.
And last month, Eric said the US doesn’t “give a damn” about the pair, saying it’s “sad to watch” how they’ve “gone off the deep end.”
