The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to purchase a property in Portugal has been seen as the ultimate symbol that the couple wish to integrate some parts of the European way of life in their children's futures.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have spent very little time in the UK, despite being sixth and seventh in line to the throne, and, as a result, have not spent much time with their royal cousins.

And, with the prospect of spending more time in Portugal, a leading royal expert has said the two people who will benefit the most will be the couple's young children. "It may well be that with Donald Trump back in the White House, Harry and Meghan might spend more time in their Portugal house, at least in the school holidays," former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively told OK!
