Meghan Markle receives urgent family plea after father hospitalized in critical condition

Meghan Markle is facing an emotional family plea as her father, Thomas Markle, was rushed to the hospital and placed in intensive care.

According to reports, he underwent surgery on Thursday after falling seriously ill at home and was later transferred to the ICU.

Meghan’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., made a heartfelt appeal to the Duchess of Sussex, asking her to “show my father some compassion," mentioning that his life is in serious danger, as reported by Daily Mail. 

"My only wish is that Meghan shows my father some compassion. He is literally fighting for his life," said Thomas Jr. 

Revealing how he took his father, who has suffered two heart attacks and a stroke in recent years, Thomas Jr. said, "I took dad to a hospital close to our home and they did various scans and the doctors said his life was in imminent danger.

"They raced us by ambulance, with the sirens going, to a much bigger hospital in the centre of the city. My dad has undergone emergency surgery."

"I would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts."

The former Suits star’s half-sister Samantha Markle also added, "He is a strong man, but he has been through so much. I am praying that he is strong enough to survive this."
