Prince Harry has put forward a major demand before his wife Meghan Markle as her father Thomas Markle has undergone surgery in hospital.
According to media reports, Thomas Markle, 81, is now "stable" albeit still in intensive care following a three-hour operation.
Prince Harry’s father-in-law was rushed to hospital after an emergency at home on the island of Cebu, in the Philippines.
Now, according to royal expert Rob Shuter, the Markle family drama just took a heart-wrenching turn.
Citing the insiders, the expert claims Harry has been gently but "firmly urging Meghan to reach out" to her father, Thomas Markle.
Rob Shuter, writing for his substack says one insider whispered, “Harry knows estrangement. He made peace with his dad; now he wants Meghan to have the same chance. He’s been saying, ‘Don’t wait, do it now.’”
Another source added, “She needs to see how serious this is. This isn’t about headlines, it’s about family.”
A close friend also said, “Thomas has been through strokes, heart attacks, and more — the man has survived Hollywood-level drama. But this time? It does not look good.”
The insiders informed Rob Shuter, Thomas moved to the Philippines partly to escape the constant reminders of estrangement. “Every day there was a story about Meghan and Harry,”
Another insider added, “This is a moment where Meghan can choose — silence or family.”
The royal insiders went on saying Harry’s push is soft, compassionate, and very much a “lead by example” moment.
“He’s showing Meghan what reconciliation looks like,” one source whispered. “And he hopes she takes it.”
