Prince Harry, Meghan Markle face major hurdle to become EU citizens after rumored Portugal house purchase
NY Post
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have one major hurdle to overcome following their rumored house purchase in sunny Portugal.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly splashed out 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 are said to have forked over more than $4.7 million on the purchase, the Mirror reports.
But after signing on the dotted line, it appears as though the duo now have an obstacle to overcome: obtaining a European Union citizenship.
Such a citizenship would allow the couple to travel freely through the Schengen area, which covers 29 countries.
But with the UK fully out of the EU post-Brexit, Harry and Meghan must file a Portuguese citizenship application, which requires a language test.
