Who is Thomas Markle? Meghan Markle's Father, Plans Big Move to Escape Drama

Thomas, 80, currently lives in Mexico but is preparing for a "fresh start" overseas. He hasn't spoken to Meghan since before her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018.

His decision to move coincides with the upcoming release of Meghan's Netflix series, which will feature various celebrities and her husband, Harry.

Thomas told MailOnline that he feels ready for a change, wanting to meet new people and experience kindness. He hopes to find a peaceful environment free from the recent years' drama.

Though he hasn't decided on his new home, he's considering Southeast Asia, a place he remembers fondly from his younger days. Thomas plans to move with his son, Tom Jr., 58.

Thomas has faced health issues, including heart attacks before Meghan's wedding and a stroke in May 2022, leading to speech difficulties and other health problems.

His relationship with Meghan became strained after she claimed he sold photos to the paparazzi. Thomas has not met his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who live with Meghan and Harry in California.
