Reuters has learned about Markle's attempts to contact her father after his leg was amputated.

Prince Harry's wife, actress Meghan Markle, tried to get in touch with her father after his leg was amputated earlier due to a blood clot. This was reported on December 5 by the Reuters news agency.

Megan tried to contact her father Thomas Markle, with whom she has not been in contact for a long time, after it became known that his leg had been amputated in the Philippines, the article says.

"I can confirm that she has been in contact with her father," said a spokesperson for the actress.

The agency recalls that the actress and her father have been estranged from each other since her wedding in 2018 to the British Prince Harry. Thomas Markle moved from Mexico to the Philippines in early 2025.

In January 2023, The Guardian newspaper noted that British Prince Harry told in his autobiographical book "Spare" how he was attacked by his older brother Prince William. According to Harry, this happened in 2019 in the capital of Great Britain. William came to him to discuss the strained relationship with Harry's wife, Meghan Markle. After the younger of the brothers accused the elder of a lack of support, an "enraged" William attacked him, grabbing him by the collar and knocking him to the floor.
