The internet was full of reports that Meghan Markle had taken a big step this week, but a privileged person has now clarified the record.
Meghan Markle has not spoken to her separated father since she suffered a stroke last week, her sister Samantha Markle said today.
The Duchess of Sussex was rumored to have contacted her father, Thomas Markle, 77, after he was taken to hospital last Monday. The sun.
The retired lighting director from Hollywood fell ill in Mexico and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
He was discharged five days later and has since revealed that he is “struggling to speak” in his recovery.
But Samantha, Meghan’s half-sister, said the duchess had not been in contact.
Talking to Good morning BritainSamantha, 57, said: “I heard rumors that I was trying to contact my father’s camp, but my brother and I are in my father’s camp and their number has never changed.
“Even though she can’t speak, her language comprehension is perfect: she could text or contact him and he would respond.”
He added: “These rumors are not true, the hand has not been touched.”
Meghan’s father lost his marriage four years ago after claiming he had suffered a heart attack.
The duchess’s relationship with her father had collapsed after she posed for paparazzi photos before her 2018 wedding.
Since then, he and his children have repeatedly attacked Meghan in the media, and Markle recently set up a YouTube channel where she talks about her daughter.
Today, many viewers responded to Samantha’s interview with a person who wrote, “This is becoming so uncomfortable, the family is so dysfunctional. I don’t blame Meghan for coming out of such a toxic relationship.”
Another said, “When your dad goes on national television and finds out why you would do it, but I’ve never heard Meghan hook him!”
Markle was scheduled to fly to Britain this week to celebrate next weekend’s platinum jubilee, but the stroke slowed the trip.
Her condition was so serious that she has been communicating by dragging messages on a piece of paper, friends said.
In messages with the Mail on SundayMarkle said: “I am very grateful and I know how lucky I am to be alive.
“I want to thank everyone, especially the wonderful doctors and nurses who saved my life. They are angels.
“I am deeply moved by the love messages I have received from all over the world. People have been so kind.
“I can’t talk right now, but I’m working hard and I’ll thank people properly when I can.”
The severe stroke was caused by a blood clot on the right side of Mr. Markle’s brain.
