Overview
- A spokesperson confirmed to the BBC and People that Meghan’s handwritten correspondence is now in Thomas Markle’s possession.
- Thomas Markle, 81, underwent a below‑knee amputation after a blood clot and is recovering in a Cebu hospital, according to accounts he and his medical team gave the Mail on Sunday.
- Meghan’s team says a Daily Mail reporter’s presence at his bedside hindered private contact, a claim DMG denies as false and unethical to suggest.
- Reports say earlier email outreach failed because he no longer uses email, while Meghan does not have his phone number and he reportedly lacks his phone in hospital.
- Commentators continue to assess Meghan’s response, with TalkTV host Mark Dolan calling the approach a PR misstep and urging greater empathy.
