Thomas Markle, Meghan Markle’s father, was hospitalized at a health center in California after suffering a stroke.
Prince Harry‘s father-in-law was in Tijuana when he began to feel ill and was rushed by ambulance from the city located on the U.S.-Mexico border, according to TMZ.
What is known about Meghan Markle’s dad’s health?
It was known that it was in the evening hours of Monday, May 23 when Markle, 77, presented the first symptoms of a stroke. Archie and Lilibet’s grandfather lost his speech but was able to write down the symptoms on a piece of paper and communicate with the health personnel who came to his rescue.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail newspaper confirmed the news and journalist Dan Wootton revealed that Thomas’ family did not want to report anything until they saw how he evolved, however, after the leak they decided to break the silence.
Samantha Markle, daughter of Thomas and half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex, assured that her father is recovering.
“My father is recovering in the hospital. We ask for privacy for the family, for his health and well-being. He just needs peace and rest. We are praying,” she said.
Samantha has claimed that her father’s health problems could be a consequence of the indifference of her half-sister, Meghan Markle.
“It’s a mockery how he has been tortured and everything he has had to go through thanks to my sister’s indifference over the past few years. That is unforgivable,” Samantha pointed out.
Meghan has been estranged from her father and paternal family for more than four years. The estrangement began after Thomas lent himself to taking some fake pictures days before Meghan and Harry’s wedding.
The images were captured by British photographers in which Thomas pretended to see a news item of his daughter and Prince Harry in an Internet cafe, the same were sold for over 120 thousand dollars.
Since then he and his other children have done nothing but give statements to the press and with every word they distance themselves further from Meghan.
