The story of Thomas Markle Senior, father of Meghan Markle, reveals a striking contrast to the life his daughter and son-in-law, Prince Harry, now lead.

 

At 80 years old, Thomas has moved to Cebu in the Philippines, where he lives with his son, Thomas Markle Jr. He currently rents a high-rise apartment for 36,000 Philippine pesos a month—a relatively upscale arrangement by local standards, yet vastly different from the luxury Meghan and Harry enjoy. The apartment is located on a busy seven-lane road in a province of over three million people, where nearly a third of the population lives below the poverty line. Though modest by Western standards, the harsh conditions—intense heat, humidity, and uneven roads—have made day-to-day life physically demanding for Thomas.

Having endured two heart attacks and a stroke, he now depends on a walking stick to move around. His current struggles are no longer primarily financial but physical, as the tropical climate, often soaring to 33°C with humidity reaching 90%, poses significant challenges to his recovery. Prior to this, Thomas spent nearly ten years in Rosarito, Mexico, seeking a more peaceful and private existence. He has expressed a desire to spend his later years in tranquility, away from the relentless public scrutiny and media attention tied to his family. Reflecting on his move, he remarked that Southeast Asia offers affordable living, respectful communities, healthy food, and good medical care—qualities he values deeply in his pursuit of peace.

Despite his efforts to live quietly, Thomas remains estranged from Meghan and her family. He has never met his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, even though they now live just an ocean away. His last public appearance, which occurred just one day after Archie’s sixth birthday, served only to highlight the emotional chasm that persists between them. Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry enjoy a life of affluence in Santa Barbara, California, residing in a $14.7 million estate—a setting that starkly contrasts with the simpler reality Thomas endures in Cebu.

Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Harry have maintained a high standard of living, largely supported by Harry’s inheritance from his late mother, Princess Diana. Their royal financial support was reportedly cut off that same year, making his inheritance a crucial element in affording their new life in the United States. Additionally, Harry was expected to receive a portion of a $90 million trust from his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, upon turning 40, further securing their financial independence.

While Thomas Markle Senior tries to adapt to a modest life surrounded by environmental hardships, his daughter and son-in-law live in comfort, in one of America’s most exclusive neighborhoods. The differences between them emphasize a deep and enduring family divide, shaped by choices, circumstances, and perhaps irreconcilable emotional distances. Thomas’s quiet search for peace contrasts sharply with Meghan and Harry’s public journey through wealth, fame, and influence. Their divergent paths are a vivid reflection of the fracture within the Markle family—marked not just by geography, but by profound disconnection. Whether reconciliation is possible or peace can truly be found remains an open and uncertain question.
