Meghan Markle shocking 'lie' exposed by father: 'no contact'

Meghan Markle left fans upset after her ailing father, Thomas Markle, denied reports that her daughter reached out following his life-threatening surgery.

It was reported a day ago that the Duchess of Sussex contacted the estranged grandfather of Archie and Lilibet after he was admitted to the intensive care unit. 

However, in conversation with the Mail, Thomas, who was admitted to a hospital in Cebu, Philippines, appeared "confused" on reports of Meghan reaching out.

He said, "Of course I want to speak to her, but I am not sure if these are the right circumstances."

The 81-year-old added, "I've always said I am open to reconciling with my daughter. I have never stopped loving her. I don't want to die estranged from Meghan. I want to meet my grandkids. It might be nice to meet her husband, too."

It is pertinent to note that it was also claimed that Meghan sent an email to her father, but "family members and close friends also say he [Thomas] never uses email".

Even the hospital officials confirmed that no call from the Duchess of Sussex was received.

The hospital confirmed, with permission from Thomas, that he had had his lower left leg amputated during emergency surgery, and that the hospital had not received a call from the Duchess.

Thomas Markle has had his foot amputated due to a blood clot in his thigh that obstructed blood circulation.

His surgeon said, "It was life-or-death surgery. Had the infection in the foot moved to his heart, it would most likely have been fatal. He is doing well, but he is not out of the woods yet."
