ALONE, ILL & AFRAID Meghan Markle’s sister Samantha blasts claims that Kensington Palace is helping their poorly dad Thomas in hospital
Samantha has revealed to The Sun that she had to wire her father money so he could survive as he successfully underwent heart surgery
Meghan’s wheelchair-bound sister, 53, said he was devastated to miss Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday but had been given no information by Kensington Palace.
She told us: “He was upset. He wanted to go. But his doctor had the overruling opinion he needed surgery. So he’s smart enough to know, ‘This is life-threatening’.
“It’s all been so heartbreaking and now my father’s in surgery.”
Samantha claimed her dad “checked in anonymously” to hospital yesterday to avoid photographers. There had been no sign of him leaving home in Rosarito, Mexico
Samantha, who has multiple sclerosis, rejected reports that Kensington Palace had offered significant support to her dad in Mexico.
She added: “That is not true or he would not have been living in his place. He’d have been with security. I have receipts showing I’ve sent my father money twice by MoneyGram because he needed it.
“He is badly in need of help. I’m dreadfully worried about him. He’s completely on his own.
Florida-based Samantha said the Palace had not offered to fly him to London early or give him details about how he would get there.
She said: “There was no actual contact from Meghan and she has not spoken with my father since the heart attack. I don’t know why, I’m not blaming her.”
Samantha also said Harry — who has never met Thomas — had stayed silent, claiming: “I know that contact has not been made.”
Thomas’s first heart attack last week saw him treated in an ill-equipped local hospital.
His daughter said: “I was worried as I hadn’t heard from him in a day and a half. And he called me crying and he said, ‘I had a heart attack.’”
He had recently been trying to live a healthy lifestyle, she said.
Samantha denied claims there was a rift between them over the deal to stage photos before the wedding. She insisted she brokered it to “defend” him from the paparazzi.
