Thomas Markle (80), the estranged father of Duchess Meghan (43), is making headlines again! In an emotional interview, he announced his intention to leave America - for a new life in Southeast Asia.

While Markle says goodbye to his old life, Meghan starts a new chapter: With her show "With Love, Meghan", the Duchess recently announced a promising new start for 2025.

In the new Netflix series, as can be seen in the first trailer, she presents herself as a Californian luxury trad-wife ( "traditional wife"), who prepares various appetizers or arranges flowers in a polished millionaire's kitchen in bright dresses, sometimes with, sometimes without an apron - and creates small miracles from "ordinary things" with her "little tips and tricks" ...
