Meghan Markle's father Thomas Markle is unable to speak and will have to learn again after his health scare.
The retired Hollywood lighting director, 77, was rushed to hospital last week with a suspected stroke, and his daughter Samantha Markle appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain today to discuss her father's ailing health.
She revealed he is doing better but has a long road of recovery to go yet, as she urged her half-sister Meghan to get back in touch with her father. It is believed the pair haven't spoken for several years after a family rift, but Thomas has made multiple pleas.
