Thomas Markle had planned to issue his daughter Meghan Markle with an ultimatum during his UK trip.
The father of the Duchess of Sussex will now be unable to make it over to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the coming days after he suffered a terrifying health scare.
Mr Markle was rushed to hospital in an ambulance with an oxygen mark strapped to his face after he had a suspected stroke. His other children are by his bedside, but he is also keen to see his daughter Meghan, who he hasn't seen for a number of years.
