Samantha Markle has appeared on Good Morning Britain on Monday to address rumours her half-sister Meghan is trying to reach out to their dad, Thomas, after his recent health scare. Mr Markle, 77, had been planning to fly to the UK in June for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee but was admitted to hospital last week after suffering a stroke.
It came after Mr Markle spoke last month of his desire to travel to the UK for the jubilee with hopes to meet members of the royal family and his grandchildren – Archie and Lilibet – for the first time. Speaking to GB News from his home in Rosarito, Mexico, last month Mr Markle said: "I’m looking forward to it.
"I’m going to show my respect for the Queen and I’m going to make sure that the Queen understands that my entire family respects the Queen and the royals. We admire them and we want them to know that’s how we feel about them and that’s how we feel about England."
