Meghan Markle emailed sick father after he claimed she failed to message him
Meghan Markle’s war of words with her estranged father has heated up after he claimed she failed to contact him after he underwent life-saving surgery.
Meghan Markle says she emailed her father Thomas following his lifesaving surgery after he claimed she “didn’t message” him.
Thomas Markle, 81, who had his leg amputated after being rushed to hospital, had claimed the
Duchess of Sussex failed to message him and pleaded with her to see him “one more time before I die”.
However, the Duchess of Sussex sent her estranged father an email following his health scare, The Sun has reported.
But the email address reportedly hadn’t been active for five years, according to the Mail on Sunday.
Meghan’s spokesperson told The Sun: “I can confirm she has reached out to her father.”
Thomas Markle has never met Meghan’s children, Archie and Lilibet and he told the Mail on Sunday he wanted to meet them and his son-in-law, Prince Harry, “before it’s too late”.
“I don’t want to die estranged from Meghan. I want to meet my grandkids. It might be nice to meet her husband too,” he said.
He denied that Meghan had contacted him after his surgery and added he “would love to speak with her”.
He added that he was “open to reconciling with my daughter” and “never stopped loving her”.
Meghan’s half-brother, Thomas Jr, had previously told the Daily Mail the family have heard nothing from the Sussexes since his dad was admitted to hospital near his home in he Philippines.
Thomas Markle had been living in Mexico for a decade before relocating to the Philippines in January.
He and Meghan have been estranged since her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, when he failed to walk her down the aisle, prompting the then Prince Charles to step in.
“I would implore Meghan and Harry to reach out to Dad,” Thomas Jr said.
The concerned son added how his father is “heavily medicated” and “hooked up to all kinds of machines”.
Thomas Jr, 59, had said previously: “I took dad to a hospital close to our home and they did various scans and the doctors said his life was in imminent danger.”
He described how the ambulance rushed his dad to hospital.
He added: “My only wish is that Meghan shows my father some compassion. He is literally fighting for his life.”
