Meghan Markle’s Father Thomas Markle Undergoes Leg Amputation in the Philippines: Report

Thomas is said by his son to be recovering in an intensive care ward at the hospital. “One of his doctors said the next two or three days are critical,” Thomas Jr. told the Daily Mail. “His left leg has been removed below the knee. They were worried about infection setting in — sepsis or gangrene.”
Thomas has faced ongoing health issues in recent years and reportedly suffered a stroke in 2022.
Meghan, 44, has been estranged from her father since her 2018 royal wedding to Prince Harry, following his admission that he staged paparazzi photos with a British tabloid and, according to Meghan, lied to her about speaking to the press. (He later expressed regret over the incident, saying in 2021, “I wish I hadn’t done the whole thing.”) Thomas ultimately pulled out of attending the wedding, and the then–Prince Charles walked Meghan down the aisle at St. George’s Chapel.
