After several days of attempting to get in contact with her seriously-ill father, as he remains in hospital in the Philippines after undergoing a major operation, Meghan Markle has successfully reached out to her dad.

A spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex said: “With the support of reliable and trusted contacts, her correspondence is now safely in his hands,” adding: “It has been exceedingly difficult for the Duchess to contact her father privately, despite her efforts over the past several days.”

Meghan’s representative added that she found it difficult to get in touch with her dad, Thomas Markle Snr, due to publications “remaining at her father’s bedside”, as she hoped to keep their correspondence private.

The Duchess of Sussex was previously unable to confirm which hospital her father was being treated in, resulting in personally made phone calls to hospitals in the Philippines in an urgent bid to establish the hospital logo seen in photographs on her father’s hospital gown.

Meghan has not had any contact with her father since her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018. Before the couple tied the knot in their fairytale wedding in Windsor, there was tension brewing between the Duchess and her father as he was caught staging paparazzi photos in the run-up to the big day. Mr Markle then suffered a heart attack and did not attend the wedding, with King Charles stepping in at the last minute to walk Meghan down the aisle.

Meghan’s 81-year-old father was reportedly rushed to hospital in early December after his foot “turned black” from a blood clot in his leg. According to Thomas’ younger son and Meghan’s half-brother Thomas Jnr, Mr Markle underwent a below the knee amputation of his left leg in a hospital in Cebu, Philippines.
