“I’m seeing someone else”: Dame Edna claims she's dating Thomas Markle
Dame Edna is a classic Australian icon, and it’s safe to say that this title does not come without controversy.
As Dame Edna is promoting her new tour, she’s announced to the press that she’s got a new man in her life.
“I’ve had many years of widowhood, but I’m seeing someone else,” Dame Edna said, before dropping clues about her new lover.
“An older man. He’s not well known. He was in the limelight because of his daughter’s marriage. He lives in America. He sometimes lives in Mexico. His name is Thomas Markle,” she said, as the room erupted in laughter.
Although they’re getting “very, very close”, nothing serious has happened yet.
“He is the father of little Meghan and he’s such a lovely man,” she continued. “We’re getting very, very close. We haven’t committed acts of immodesty yet.”
After doing some quick math, Dame Edna realised that she would be in line to the throne if her and Tommy tied the knot.
“Do you realise that if I do tie the knot with Tommy, I will be 17th in line for the throne,” she said.
“So he suggested we go down to his local jeweller and have our heads measured for crowns, just in case. Queen Edna and King Thomas, it sounds good, doesn’t it?”
This isn’t the first time that Dame Edna has had a brush with the royal family, as she recently posted a video on her Instagram page of her with Prince Charles and Camilla at the Royal Variety Show.
