Meghan Markle’s estranged father Thomas Markle is said to be “fighting for his life” after having emergency surgery. The 81-year-old is currently in intensive care in a hospital in the Philppines, his son has said.
His son Thomas Jr. said: “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. 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.
“I would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts.” He added: “My only wish is that Meghan shows my father some compassion. He is literally fighting for his life.”
His son added that he underwent three hours of surgery on Thursday and now faces a second procedure to remove a blood clot.
Thomas’s daughter Samantha, 61, told the Daily Mail: “He is a strong man, but he has been through so much. I am praying that he is strong enough to survive this.
“My father has been through two heart attacks, a stroke and an earthquake. I hope he can pull through this.”
