Duchess Meghan: Her father packs his suitcase and takes “Megsy’s” pictures with him

Thomas Markle and his daughter, Duchess Meghan, have not spoken to each other for years. The relationship is considered broken. But Markle can’t find peace. He has lived in Mexico for ten years. In a small house on a cliff. But since his daughter emigrated to the USA in 2020 and turned her back on the royal family, she has been very present in the American media.

Apparently a reason why her father is now on the run. A reporter from the British newspaper “Daily Mail” visited him while he was packing up his belongings and spoke to him. The picture that the portal paints in its interview is that of an old man who is looking for nothing more than peace. Apparently in Southeast Asia from now on.

But he doesn’t embark on the long journey without his memories. The memories of his daughter “Megsy,” as he calls her in the interview. The reporter reports that he neatly wraps photos of her as a child, school reports and all memorabilia in plastic wrap before boxing her up. Photos from Duchess Meghan’s first marriage, which show the actress’s wedding to producer Trevor Engelson on the beach in Jamaica in 2011, are also lying around. The marriage lasted until 2014, two years before she met Prince Harry, it fell apart. Her father doesn’t know why: “I really liked Trevor,” says Markle. “I don’t think he ever understood why she left him either.”

He himself doesn’t say that he’s leaving the country because of the media flood surrounding his daughter. Marketing efforts are currently underway for her upcoming Netflix documentary “With Love, Meghan.” But he says: “At 80 it’s time to go somewhere where the people are nice and I can live a quieter, kinder life.” Markle has suffered two heart attacks and a stroke in recent years.

He seems to have given up hope of ever meeting his son-in-law Prince Harry and his grandchildren Archie, five years old, and Lilibet, three years old. The scandal began with the wedding of Meghan Markle and the prince, to which Thomas Markle was unable to attend. He himself says that it was due to a heart attack shortly before his departure and would like to prove this to the reporter with documents.

In fact, in 2018, a controversy over staged paparazzi photos in which he was said to be involved made headlines. This put further strain on the relationship. In the end, King Charles, then a prince, accompanied Meghan to the altar – an emotional moment that overshadowed her father’s absence.

While Duchess Meghan is in million-dollar villas in the trailer for her upcoming documentary, her father lives in a small house. He was a lighting technician in Hollywood, won two Emmys for his work and opened the doors to the dream factory for his daughter. He himself says that for a while he earned six figures a year, partly to enable Meghan to take ballet and dance lessons as well as private acting lessons.

Now he is moving far away from his daughter. At the time of the interview, they are only 400 kilometers apart: “I don’t know where I’ll end up, but it’s time to move on and find a place where I can live among nice people and enjoy the time I have left.” . He packs the photos of “Megsy” feeding the ducks, playing mini golf or on fishing trips to a neighboring lake despite planning a new start.
