Thomas Markle Pleads for Reconciliation as Meghan Says She Reached Out After Life-Saving Leg Amputation

The 81-year-old remains in intensive care in Cebu after a below‑knee amputation as doctors monitor a critical period for infection risk.

Overview

  • Meghan Markle’s spokesperson confirmed she reached out to her father, and People reports she emailed him Friday late morning Pacific time with no bounce-back noted.
  • Thomas Markle, his son, and hospital staff say they have not received contact, leaving the status of the outreach in dispute.
  • From his hospital bed, Thomas asked to see Meghan “one more time before I die” and said he hopes to meet Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
  • Doctors described a massive blood clot that cut off circulation to his lower left leg, calling the operation life-or-death and warning about sepsis or gangrene.
  • Sources close to Meghan say her team sought accurate hospital and contact details and initially kept the outreach private, while DMG Media defended its reporting and offered to facilitate contact.
