Overview
- Meghan Markle’s spokesperson accused Daily Mail reporter Caroline Graham of “broadcasting each interaction” from Thomas Markle’s hospital room, saying her presence hindered private contact.
- Graham published a first-person defense describing a longstanding friendship with Thomas, asserting she had his permission to report and saying Meghan’s team sent what she called “unnecessarily aggressive” messages.
- Graham recounted being present when a handwritten letter from Meghan was formally delivered to Thomas in hospital, saying the handover was recorded for verification and that she did not disclose the contents.
- DMG Media and the Daily Mail rejected claims of unethical conduct, saying interactions were not broadcast and that Graham shared Thomas’s contact and hospital details with Meghan’s representatives once he consented.
- Thomas Markle has been moved out of ICU after a below‑knee amputation in the Philippines, as public criticism of the Mail’s bedside reporting continues and conflicting accounts over access persist.
