This is Thomas Markle, father to Meghan Markle and general royal headache for Buckingham Palace.
Between giving frequent interviews that include bashing the Queen and invoking Princess Diana as his ally, staging faked paparazzi shots and missing weddings, Thomas Markle has now found the time to venture into his next-stage career: a fashion designer.
The news was first announced via a tweet posted by Samantha Grant. Samantha, as you may remember, is Meghan's estranged half-sister who often takes to the media for interviews that mostly try to attack or paint the Duchess of Sussex in bad light. After all, she was the same person who went on a British talk show and said, "Money makes the world go round, so if you want to call that cashing in, that’s fine, but I think no one in media would refuse a paycheck for talking about the royals". What a family!
And while no further updates or news is available about what Mr. Markle is going to showcase in his new menswear line, we've got a few ideas on what his line could potentially include.

1. Wedding suits
This could potentially play well, because after all, what man doesn't need a good suit for a wedding? Whether said man actually does attend the wedding is a whole other story, but hey, it's the thought that counts right?
2. Hoodies
Soon after the story broke, Samantha attracted some backlash from the Internet, and she wasn't going to go down without having the last word. Stating plainly that Thomas Markle is "an international fashion guru", she's throwing "hoodies for older men" into the mix too. If she exercises the same persuasive powers she did when she convinced him to stage his own paparazzi shots in exchange for money, this might actually happen.
3. Slogan wear
Fashion continues to have a love affair for logos and slogans, so perhaps Thomas could capitalise on the trend with his own signature line of slogan merchandise. "Meghan, Call Me Back" and "I Won't Be Silenced" (the latter is an actual by Thomas) could be potential money-makers. Here's to hoping!
