Meghan Markle has initiated contact with her estranged father, Thomas Markle, after he reportedly underwent an emergency leg amputation earlier this week.

Thomas Markle's son disclosed that his father's left leg was amputated below the knee due to concerns over infection and sepsis.

His son appealed for Meghan to show compassion during this difficult time, emphasizing the life-saving nature of the operation.
