Meghan Markle has reportedly reached out to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, following news that he underwent a leg amputation during surgery in the Philippines.
Full story below…
A spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex confirmed the attempt to reconnect, though it remains unclear whether the message reached him.
Their rift has stretched back to the days leading up to her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, when intense media scrutiny and a staged-photo controversy fractured their relationship. Thomas ultimately pulled out of attending the ceremony, citing health issues, and the pair have had little contact since.
He has also never met their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
While Thomas has continued speaking publicly about their strained relationship over the years, today’s outreach marks a rare move from Meghan during a moment of serious concern surrounding her father’s health.

Until I see Megan Markle running in black circles, and attending black events I will not be paying her boring white a*** anything but dust. I’m minding my black business on Miss Markle, Chile, and keeping my phone, as it relates to her, on do not disturb.
