Meghan Markle's Father Fitted for Prosthetic Leg

Thomas Markle Sr., 81, is currently undergoing fittings for a prosthetic leg after a critical medical event. In December of the previous year, he experienced a life-threatening blood clot in his left leg, necessitating an emergency surgery where surgeons amputated the limb below the knee.

His son recently revealed that his father is engaged in physical therapy with the aim of adapting to prosthetic attachments and regaining mobility. The former Hollywood lighting director resides in the Philippines and has been estranged from his daughter, Meghan Markle, since her 2018 wedding.

Reports indicate that the Duchess of Sussex, who lives in Montecito, California, has not visited her father. Instead, she reportedly sent him a letter delivered by US Embassy officials. His son has publicly criticized Meghan for not visiting their father or assisting with his medical expenses.

Markle Sr.'s health has been declining in recent years, including a significant stroke in 2022. He has expressed a strong desire to meet his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, before his death.
