Meghan Markle's dad, Thomas, gets life-saving amputation in Cebu
Thomas Markle, the estranged father of Meghan Markle, is in the intensive care unit of a Philippine hospital after undergoing emergency surgery to amputate his leg below the knee.
His son, Thomas Markle Jr., stated that the surgery was life-saving due to a blood clot cutting off circulation, causing the limb to turn black.
Markle, 81, was rushed to the hospital in Cebu on Tuesday, December 2, for the three-hour procedure.
He has a history of health issues, including two heart attacks and a stroke in 2022.
Thomas Jr. mentioned that his father is being brave and that doctors stated the amputation was a case of life or death.
The retired Hollywood lighting director had moved to Cebu earlier this year seeking a new life away from his estrangement from Meghan.
