Meghan Markle has reached out to her father Thomas after he was forced to have life-saving surgery to amputate his leg. A spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex had previously declined to comment on reports, first published exclusively by the Daily Mail, that Meghan’s father was ill.

Mr Markle has never met his son-in-law Prince Harry or grandchildren Archie, six and four-year-old Lilibet.
