Meghan Markle has been sent a major warning about her recent handwritten letter to her dad Thomas Markle. The 81-year-old underwent life-saving surgery during which his leg was amputated, it was reported last month.
It emerged that Thomas had to be rushed to hospital and underwent a three-hour operation on December 3 to remove his left foot and lower leg after a circulation issue turned the limb blue and black. After hearing of her father’s surgery, Meghan reportedly reached out to her dad via a handwritten letter.
The letter was then given to Thomas, who has not been on speaking terms with his daughter since 2018, in the presence of a lawyer. The lawyer present also videotaped the handover.
Speaking on the latest episode of I Rest My Case podcast, Making a Murderer attorney Dean Strang sent Meghan a major warning if the letter was to get into the hands of the media.
He said: “It amazes me as an American lawyer that Meghan should recover if her father willingly disclosed for payment or not willingly disclosed a private letter from his daughter to the media I in, in the US, you as the writer of that letter would be taking the risk of unreliable eyes, unreliable ears on the part of the recipient.
“You know, you sent it to him, what he does with it,” adding a five-word warning that “you can’t expect a control”.
Following his surgery, it was reported that he will then need to get used to using the aid of a walking frame before moving on to using crutches.
It is hoped Thomas will be fitted with a prosthetic leg at some stage, with Meghan not thought to have made any plans to meet with her father in person.
