In a surprising turn of events, it has been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a secret visit to Portugal following their time in Germany at the Invictus Games.
According to Portuguese magazine Nova Gente, the couple enjoyed a lightning romantic escape to the country’s Alentejo region, sandwiched between their trip to Dusseldorf and their return to the United States.
Sources reveal that after the Games, Harry and Meghan jetted off to Lisbon before traveling south to the Costa Terra Gulf and Ocean Club resort, situated in the coastal town of Melides.
This secret getaway was designed to provide the Sussexes with a few days of much-needed rest and relaxation.
However, this mega-secret operation has attracted public attention, with many people questioning the authenticity of the story.
The popular CBB Twitter account dismissed the news as a complete fabrication, tweeting, “Didn’t effing happen,” along with a link to an article about Harry and Meghan’s supposed vacation.
One commentator pointed out the absence of any blurry photos taken by the public, stating, “How very strange.”
Another skeptic chimed in, saying, “No they didn’t.
I don’t believe it either.”
A fourth observer noted, “If they were there, we would have seen at least 30 pap shots of them being so in love and enjoying their time.”
In an unexpected twist, it is believed that Harry and Meghan crossed paths with Hollywood actor Chris Evans and Portuguese actress Alba Baptista during their secret trip to Portugal.
According to a tipster who reached out to celebrity gossip account Deux Moi on Instagram, the newlyweds ran into Evans and Baptista while on their honeymoon.
The tip claimed, “Looked like Alba and Meghan were bonding in particular.”
However, a follow-up email disputed the sighting, suggesting that it was fabricated by one of Evans’ overzealous fans who refuse to accept his marriage to Baptista.
The anonymous admin of Deux Moi debunked this claim, stating that the tip was sent by someone using a real name, thus adding credibility to its authenticity.
The admin also dismissed the notion that Meghan’s PR team was behind the story, asserting that it was more likely made up by Meghan herself, who is eager to be associated with A-listers.
While some believe that Harry and Meghan did indeed enjoy a romantic getaway, others have raised concerns for different reasons.
Just two weeks ago, Meghan explained in a speech to Invictus organizers and participants in Dusseldorf that she missed the opening ceremonies due to her parenting responsibilities.
This has led some to question how the busy mother suddenly had time for a romantic trip.
Lady C, a well-known critic of the couple, commented, “The problem with Harry and Meghan is you cannot believe anything they say.”
She added, “Most information that comes out or comes from them, and we just don’t know what is really happening.”
With doubts surrounding their every move, the future of their marriage and whether it will flourish as it did in the early days remains uncertain.
