Who needs palace drama when the men in Meghan Markle’s family can stir enough chaos from 7,000 miles away? Her half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., is working on an unfiltered book about growing up with his sister and future Duchess. But that’s not all, as he’s also planning to make a documentary later. Will this family drama go full Hollywood? Dive in!
Meghan Markle: Thomas Jr. Promises A “Good Book!”
The father and half-brother of Meghan Markle are currently living in a £500-a-month high-rise flat in Sunny Cebu, Philippines. However, the international shift didn’t stop Thomas Jr. from writing his memoir. Moreover, he recently shared all the details of his new book, which screams, “Soap opera!”
“When my book is finished, ooh, it’ll be swooped up real quick cos it’s getting there,” he revealed. The lighting designer is working on it and teased about converting the book into a documentary once it drops. Is he milking his royal connection? Thomas replied, “I’m not a greedy person. It’s not about the money; it’s about the principle.”
Having said that, the man wouldn’t mind making a decent profit from it. He explained in an online video, “Everybody wants the book. I now have dedicated time. It’s not easy moving.” Meanwhile, Markle’s half-brother has joined his dad in the Philippines, who is reportedly struggling with mobility issues.
Yep, Thomas Markle Sr has been seen using a walking stick to get through the island’s rough roads. Recently, people spotted him sitting alone outside a local supermarket the day after Archie’s sixth birthday. Sadly, he has never met his daughter’s little ones, Archie and Lilibet.
Why Are Meghan and Her Dad at Odds?
How did their relationship get this bad? In 2018, Meghan’s father was supposed to walk her down the aisle, but he skipped the celebration after suffering two heart attacks. But what was his reason for leaving Mexioco, where he was earlier staying? In a previous interview, he confessed to wanting to dodge the “awful family drama.”
However, there were other reasons as well, like his desire to seek “peace” and “kinder people.” He described the Asian country as “a place of culture and beauty.” Markle Sr added, “I’m not running away. I am going in search of a more positive life.”
While the Sussexes raise their little royals in California, Meg’s brother is busy writing and plotting the “game-changing” book! Tune in to Soap Opera Daily for more exclusive updates on Meghan Markle. What are your thoughts on the new book?
