Meghan Markle’s father Thomas Markle has just turned towards another outlet to discuss his hopes for life at 80.
The entire conversation happened with The Daily Mail and saw the Duchess’ father talk about wanting ‘change’ now that he is living in the Philippines.
“I am ready for a change,” he began by saying. “I have felt stuck in a rut for some time and I am ready to meet new people and experience kindness.”
That is not all because he also called for a better life now that he’s 80.
“Mostly I just want peace,” he also told the outlet.
And before concluding he also tugged at some heartstrings while discussing his own mortality.
About it Mr Markle said, “at 80, none of us know how long we have left. I want whatever time I have to be peaceful with none of the awful drama of recent years.”
For those unversed, Thomas Markle and Meghan Markle have had a froth relationship ever since her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
At the time he had failed to walk her down the aisle, not to mention started making public interviews and staging paparazzi shots before ultimately going on air and issuing statements hoping to see Archie and Lilibet as well.
On the island is Mr Markle’s son Thomas Markle Jr as well, aged 58.
