Princess Eugenie and Jack 'move to Portugal' after life-changing offer from millionaire

Princess Eugenie has reportedly moved to Portugal with her husband Jack Brooksbank after he landed a new job with a multimillionaire property tycoon.

The couple, who are also parents to one-year-old son August, are now said to be splitting their time between the exclusive CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, south of Lisbon, and London.

Jack has reportedly got a new job with Mike Meldman, a businessman who is friends with George Clooney, in sales, marketing and promotion for the private resort, which is currently being developed with 300 houses.

Eugenie, Jack and August had recently been living at Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate, which is the UK home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

But the Sun reported that Harry and Meghan have renewed their lease on the cottage - despite living in California - sparking speculation they may want to spend more time in the UK.

And now the Telegraph reports that when in the UK, Eugenie and Jack will now use Ivy Cottage at Kensington Palace as a base, with Eugenie carrying out her job at art gallery Hauser & Wirth on hybrid basis.

A source told the newspaper: "Jack is now working for Mike Meldman and they are splitting their time between Portugal and London.

“It’s a very exciting time for them.”

Jack had previously worked for the tequila brand Casamigos, which was joint owned by Mr Meldman, George Clooney and Randy Gerber, the husband of supermodel Cindy Crawford. It is now owned by drinks giant Diageo.

Meanwhile, Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, had been expected to let the Frogmore Cottage lease expire after they left the UK for America, but they reportedly committed to a new 12-month rolling deal last month.

Royal insiders believe the move could mean that the Sussexes plan to spend more time in Windsor.

One insider told the Sun: “It is quite a signal that they aren’t going to disappear. They could easily give up Frogmore as their life’s now in California.

“By agreeing to extend the lease, and with Jack and Eugenie focusing on Portugal, they have a firm presence smack bang in the middle of the Windsor court where it’s all happening. They can now come and go any time they please.

“The coming year could be one of the most tumultuous in royal history and the Sussexes are making sure they have a foothold in Windsor.”

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “Frogmore Cottage remains the UK home of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
