Meghan Markle’s estranged dad is said to be fighting for his life.
Thomas Markle, 81, was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery after suddenly falling ill at his home in the Philippines on Tuesday, according to Daily Mail.
Following a three-hour surgery, Thomas was reportedly placed into intensive care as doctors continued to monitor his condition. He is now said to be set to undergo a second procedure to remove a blood clot.
“I took dad to a hospital close to our home and they did various scans and the doctors said his life was in imminent danger,” Thomas Markle Jr. told Daily Mail on Wednesday. “They raced us by ambulance, with the sirens going, to a much bigger hospital in the center of the city.”
“My dad has undergone emergency surgery,” he continued. “I would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts. My only wish is that Meghan shows my father some compassion. He is literally fighting for his life.”
Thomas’ daughter, meanwhile, said that she is praying for her father.
“He is a strong man, but he has been through so much,” Samantha Markle, 61, told the outlet. “I am praying that he is strong enough to survive this.”
“My father has been through two heart attacks, a stroke and an earthquake,” she added. “I hope he can pull through this.”
The Post has reached out to Meghan’s rep for comment.
This wouldn’t be the first time the Duchess of Sussex’s estranged dad suffered a startling health scare.
In May 2018, on the eve of Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding ceremony, he suffered two heart attacks that prevented him from traveling from Los Angeles to London to walk his daughter down the aisle. The pair have been estranged ever since.
Thomas later suffered a massive stroke in 2022 that left him unable to speak, and he reportedly narrowly survived a massive earthquake in the Philippines earlier this year.
