Meghan Markle receives unexpected boost during difficult week | Royal | News

Meghan Markle has received an unexpected boost today after a difficult week. On Wednesday, Meghan’s Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” aired its holiday special episode, which saw the Duchess of Sussex enjoy Christmas traditions.

This included picking out a tree, decorating wreaths and making Christmas crackers and tasty goodies. The episode saw the duchess, 44, be joined by loved ones for the show, including her husband Prince Harry who made a very brief cameo.

While the duchess always tends to receive some form of criticism for her Netflix show, the episode is currently doing well in the Netflix ratings, with it being ranked in the top 10 series on the streaming service today.

As of Saturday, the episode – which is part of the “With Love, Meghan” series – currently ranks in eighth place.

This is an unexpected piece of good news for the duchess, who is no doubt having a slightly difficult week.

This is because her estranged father Thomas Markle, 81, is currently in hospital in the Philippines after needing an emergency operation to save his life.

It has been reported that the operation has seen Thomas have his leg amputated, with Meghan now having reached out to him for the first time in seven years.

It is believed Meghan has personally contacted her father, but the details of what was said has not been shared.

It is also not known whether this contact could end the estrangement between father and daughter, which began in 2018.

Meghan has not posted anything about her father on Instagram, however she shared a clip on Friday giving fans a behind-the-scenes look of her latest Netflix episode.

She captioned the short clip: “A little behind the scenes of the holiday special for ‘With Love, Meghan’ on @netflix. So much love for this crew and the magic we created together. Happy holidays!”
