Meghan Markle has been actively seeking to communicate with her father, Thomas Markle Snr, despite their estrangement for seven years. Thomas, who is 81 years old, was hospitalized in early December due to a serious health issue involving a blood clot in his leg that required a below-the-knee amputation.
Following the operation performed by Dr. Neil Sanico in the Philippines, Meghan made efforts to contact her father. Thomas is now out of the intensive care unit and undergoing physical therapy sessions after his condition stabilized.
Despite not having a direct phone number for her father, Meghan has resorted to emailing him and exploring other avenues to establish contact. Sources indicate that Thomas is currently unreachable by phone, prompting Meghan to seek assistance from her PR team and journalists to locate him.
The strained relationship between Meghan and her father dates back to her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018 when Thomas faced health issues that prevented him from attending the ceremony. Subsequently, their relationship deteriorated due to various public incidents and statements made by Thomas.
As Thomas continues his recovery journey, Meghan remains committed to reconnecting with him and has expressed a desire to mend their relationship. The ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between Meghan and her father reflect a hope for reconciliation and healing in their family dynamic.
