Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has attempted to contact her estranged father, Thomas Markle, who is reported to be seriously ill in a hospital in the Philippines and to have had his leg amputated.
-
A spokesperson confirmed Meghan “has reached out”, but it is unclear if she reached him.
-
Meghan’s relationship with her father broke down before her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, after he colluded with paparazzi and then pulled out of the wedding citing health issues.
-
Since then, they are not known to have resumed a relationship; Thomas Markle has never met Meghan and Harry’s children.
-
He has publicly criticised the couple’s decision to step back from royal duties and their comments about the royal family.
