Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, recently suffered a health scare, as reported by TMZ. He was reportedly transported by ambulance from Tijuana, Mexico to Chula Vista, California to seek urgent medical care, as he had possibly suffered a stroke. TMZ noted that Meghan’s father couldn’t verbally communicate with the EMTs caring for him and had to write down how he was feeling as a result.
This isn’t the first time Thomas has experienced health concerns — or was it? Allegedly, he faked a heart attack to get out of attending his daughter’s wedding to Prince Harry (via Cosmopolitan). That wasn’t the only thing he staged, as he also posed for — and sold — his own photos “getting ready” for the wedding that he didn’t actually attend. He got a nice, big check from selling those photos, especially for someone who dislikes the spotlight.
There hasn’t been an update on his latest health scare as of publication, but it appeared to be serious from the photos in the ambulance, in which Thomas had an oxygen mask strapped to his face.
