Thomas Markle rushed to the hospital, suffers from "major stroke"


Thomas Markle, Meghan Markle's estranged father, was reportedly taken to the hospital in the middle of the night after suffering what may have been a stroke.

It was reported that the former Hollywood lighting director intended to travel to the United Kingdom the following week in order to participate in the celebrations commemorating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.


According to reports, Thomas Markle suffered a "major stroke" while he was in Mexico, and he needed to be transported across the border to San Diego as soon as possible.

It is believed that Thomas has lost the ability to communicate verbally as a result of the incident, which comes after he experienced a previous health scare.

His condition was reportedly so severe that he could only communicate by writing messages on a piece of paper, according to published sources.

When their father became ill on Monday, Meghan's half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. was with him, and Samantha Markle, the eldest Markle sibling, is believed to be flying in from Florida to be with their father as well.

In a statement, Samantha offered her father her best wishes for a speedy recovery, saying: "My father is recovering in hospital. We ask for privacy for the family, for his health and wellbeing. He just needs peace and rest. Godspeed. We are praying."

Their 77-year-old dad just needs some rest, she said, and she pointed out how cruel it was to see how much pain and suffering he has endured because of her sister's indifference over the past few years.

"That is unforgivable," she continued.


After suffering a heart attack just days before his daughter's wedding to Prince Harry, Thomas famously missed the ceremony, and ever since then, he has been making headlines by attacking the royal couple.

During his podcast, Remarkable Friendship, he revealed that he was planning to attend a number of "rival" Platinum jubilee events, which his daughter and son-in-law will not be attending.

It has been confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan, along with their three-year-old son, Archie, and their one-year-old daughter, Lilibet, will attend the party hosted by the Queen. They will most likely stay at Frogmore Cottage, which is located on the grounds of Windsor Castle.

As a result of the scandal that he caused when he was caught staging paparazzi photos prior to Meghan and Harry's wedding in May 2018, Thomas has never had the opportunity to meet his grandchildren.


One of Thomas Markle's close friends claims that he is still being treated in the hospital, although it is currently unknown what condition he is in.

We hope that he will get better soon and send our best wishes.

I don't pretend to understand other peoples relationships, all I would say is there's plenty of life yet for Meghan to have regrets if she doesn't bury the hatchet with her father.:(

Megan was quick off the mark to get down to where the tragic shootings of all those school children and two teachers occurred ...saw her laying a wreath. Pity she does not have the time or inclination to visit her very ill father. Perhaps it was a better photo opportunity at the memorial site!!

Totally agree, he will probably recover faster not having to see Meg and the stress that will cause. But I have to ask why was he going to UK to celebrate the Queen's jubilee?.

Why do media insist on calling her Meghan Markle when she is married and took her husband’s name! Sister Samantha needs to keep her mouth shut,she is a nasty vindictive woman. Thomas Markle is a big man and he has heart problems and now a stroke which I find ludicrous to blame on Meghan.

According to all I have read he was just going over to celebrate the Queen's jubilee like everyone else in Britain. I do not think he has been personally invited by the Queen or anyone else but is "hoping" he may meet the Queen/Prince Charles or if Megan/Harry are there he may meet his grand children. Whether he was going to get paid by any newspaper outlet I do not know. Perhaps someone behind the scenes is or was going to pay his expenses. Maybe in the fullness of time we will know LOL>

The press need to take a few lessons but are you sure she is Meghan Windsor?? The press continue to call the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton! very disrespectful to Catherine after over 10 years.
