Meghan Markle’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, has spoken out and slammed her sibling after rumors that the Duchess reached out to her father after he had suffered a stroke.
77-year-old Thomas Markle, the father of the Duchess of Sussex, ended up in a hospital after suffering a major stroke in Tijuana, Mexico.
While Thomas has since reportedly already been discharged from the hospital, his daughter, Meghan, still hasn’t talked to him according to Samantha.
“Those rumors are not true, she [Meghan] has not reached out,” Samantha told Good Morning Britain after a source told The Mirror that Meghan is concerned about her father and wants to talk to him in private.
Samantha went on to suggest that Meghan has all the means to reconnect with her estranged father privately saying the door for a reunion is wide open.
“He loves all of us and he’s been bashed in the media for always speaking out to extend an olive branch to reach out to her,” Samantha added.
“He is her father so he has a right to reach out to her. He has been very honest and open in those feelings and the door is wide open.
“She’s always had his phone number, it hasn’t changed, and his address, so any suggestion that she doesn’t know how to get hold of him and that she wanted to be private is somewhat ridiculous on the grounds that if you want to reach out to your father privately you know how to do it.”
In her interview with GMB, Samantha also opened up about her father’s condition as she revealed her father is doing well but can’t speak yet.
Samantha also revealed that Thomas is able to communicate with his family via texting and that he is getting stronger by the day.
“Learning to speak again could take 6 months to a year. All he has to do now is he has to train his mouth and tongue to form the words. He’s very patient, feels very strong about it and has a lot of love and support around him so he’s going to do well,” she said.
