Thomas Markle, father of Meghan, has had a stroke, severe enough to make him unable to speak and for him to be airlifted to hospital in California. His other daughter, Samantha, said simply, “we are praying”.
So that puts paid to his plans to visit London for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations next week, a prospect that Meghan and Harry will not have relished. But the stroke may also put paid to all manner of other things: his ability to talk properly, to live a normal life…at this point it’s impossible to say.
