Thomas Markle Sr to Be Fitted for a Prosthetic Leg After Life-Saving Amputation

His son reports a planned prosthetic fitting following months of rehabilitation in the Philippines.

Overview

  • Thomas Markle Jr says a prosthetic fitting is expected soon, calling getting his 81-year-old father walking again the priority.
  • Markle Sr remains in rehab in the Philippines and continues daily physiotherapy after December’s emergency surgery.
  • Doctors amputated his left leg below the knee in a three-hour procedure after a blood clot cut off circulation to his foot.
  • Representatives for the Duchess of Sussex say she reached out after the operation, with a letter delivered to his hospital bedside by US embassy officials.
  • Thomas Markle Jr alleges Meghan has not spoken to their father or contributed to his care, as the long-standing estrangement since 2018 continues and he has not met Prince Harry or the children.
