Meghan Reaches Out to Estranged Father After Surgery

The Duchess of Sussex reportedly emailed her estranged father, Thomas Markle, late last Friday after learning he had undergone surgery. This outreach aimed to maintain privacy and was not initially disclosed publicly. Meghan has been estranged from her father since 2018, following his involvement in staging paparazzi photographs before her wedding to Prince Harry.

Despite Meghan's reported email, Thomas Markle stated he was confused by the claims and insisted he had not heard from his daughter. Sources close to him have questioned whether the email was received, with hospital personnel reportedly unaware of any direct contact. Efforts by Meghan's team to find updated contact information are ongoing.

Thomas Markle expressed a desire to reconcile with his daughter and meet his grandchildren, emphasizing that he has never stopped loving her. He asserted he had not changed his phone number, hoping Meghan could reach him. His son has also not commented on the situation.
