Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Portugal Property Purchase Sparks Local Discontent

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's acquisition of a luxury home in Portugal has drawn criticism from local residents over access and exclusivity concerns.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly bought a property worth approximately €4 million in Portugal's CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club.
The luxurious development is part of a 722-acre project by Discovery Land Company, known for creating exclusive residential communities.
Local residents express anger over the privatization of public beaches, which were once accessible to the community.
The purchase may allow the Sussexes to obtain a 'Golden Visa,' granting them visa-free access to the EU's Schengen area.
Despite the couple's high profile, locals are not impressed, noting that wealthier and more famous individuals have previously bought property in the area.
