The Duchess of Sussex's estranged father, Thomas Markle, has made a final, desperate public appeal to his daughter, pleading for a chance to meet his grandchildren 'one more time before I die.' The 81-year-old recently underwent a life-saving amputation of his leg below the knee.
The plea, made in a searingly emotional interview, comes as his health has deteriorated dramatically, amplifying the urgency of a reunion with Meghan, Prince Harry, and their two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. The request places an immense personal burden on the Duchess, but for her father, it is simply a final wish.
