Meghan Markle's father enjoys date with mystery blonde in Mexico

Meghan Markle's reclusive father is pictured enjoying a date at a pizzeria with a mystery young mother and her daughter - just weeks before his own daughter's wedding.

Thomas Markle, 73, was spotted dining with the women at a restaurant near his home in Mexico. 

And friends have even suggested the mystery woman could be his plus one when Megan marries Prince Harry in Windsor on May 19

One told the Mirror: 'He has been enjoying the company of his friend and has had the smile put back on his face.

'And he's been a complete gentleman.'

Mr Markle picked up the woman and her daughter in his old red Ford Escape, driving them to a local mall - and ending months of solitude.

The trio then made their way to the Peter Piper Pizza restaurant, near to the Rosarito beach resort.

They enjoyed pizza and soft drinks - while Mr Markle drank a Heineken before taking the woman's daughter to the pizzeria's amusement arcade.

They stayed at the arcade for more than an hour and Mr Markle won several toys for the youngster.

He then picked up the £20 dinner bill.

Mr Markle, who moved to Mexico after being declared bankrupt, shared a joke with the blonde after dinner. 

The former lighting director's friends have not revealed the woman's identity but said she had made him happy.  

Earlier this week, Meghan and Harry sent out 600 wedding invites. 

As Mr Markle waits for his to drop through the letterbox, friends say he wants to walk his daughter down the aisle. 

It was previously reported a chronic limp could stop him flying to the UK, but he appeared in good health during his date on Thursday.
