Meghan Markle has been asked to pay a visit to her estranged father, who was admitted to the hospital earlier this week after suffering a suspected massive stroke.

Thomas Markle is currently said to be recovering from a stroke in a California hospital. Meghan has not established contact with her father, according to Tom Bower, a journalist working on a biography of the Duchess, but she should go see him because she claims to be a kind person.

He said: “Meghan has always said that she’s a very compassionate person. “And if compassion was at all necessary right now, it would mean she would go to her father’s bedside, about two and a half hours’ drive south of where she lives, and give him some comfort and reassurance. We wait to see what happens.”

Thomas was transported to the Chula Vista clinic by ambulance after being admitted to a hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, where he was spotted arriving with an oxygen mask on his face and escorted by paramedics.

It’s unclear whether Meghan Markle, who is estranged from him, will visit him at a clinic in Chula Vista, California, which is only a few hours away from the Montecito house she shares with Prince Harry.
