Meghan Markle’s priest, Thomas Markle ―along with the one who cut her off just before her wedding to Prince Enrique in 2018―, underwent emergency surgery last week in the Philippines. The tuvieron which amputates the left foot and leaves the leg because of a blood clot which cuts off circulation and produces necrosis. A week later, the Duchess of Sussex managed to communicate with her priest, after an unsuccessful attempt to send him an email to an address she does not use. The letter arrived after last Sunday Thomas Markle asked to see his daughter again “before she dies” and assured him that she had not called him after her operation, according to him. Daily Mailwho posted a video of himself from his hospital bed. I say I also dream of seeing my son, Prince Enrique, again, and meeting my children, Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, “before it’s too late.” Markle ultimately wrote it in a letter because, according to her spokesperson, she didn’t want it to be heard by the British newspaper reporter who had been reporting from the hospital bed all this time and violating “clear ethical boundaries.”
The Duchess of Sussex’s team confirmed that her priest, who is in hospital on the Philippine island of Cebu, received the letter, sent from California, where she and her husband moved in 2020 after giving up their official duties within the British royal family. She did not want to communicate by phone for fear that the conversation would be heard by the media, because last week her priest gave an interview — before her wedding, she had tried to sell photos to the paparazzi —. “Given that a journalist from Daily Mail “Having remained at her father’s bed all this time, relaying every interaction and violating clear ethical boundaries, it has been extremely difficult for the Duchess to make private contact with her father, despite her efforts in recent days,” assures a spokesperson, in statements collected by the Reuters agency. “With the support of reliable and trusted contacts, your correspondence is now safely in your hands.” The spokesperson only confirmed the sending, although for the moment nothing is known about the content of the letter. For his part, he Daily Mail Group “vehemently denied” the accusation, saying it was “patently false.”
This isn’t the first time Markle has had an issue with leaking private documents involving her own priest. His priest was robbed when he tried to agree to the sale of some photos from his daughter’s wedding, which he was ultimately told did not contribute to the cause of heart disease. A month after the ceremony, he gave several interviews, in which he assured that his daughter looked “terrified, very tense” and with “a fake panicked smile” on the day of her union with Enrique of England. She sent a letter in August 2018, which was published a few months later in the newspaper The Sunday Mail. “Your actions broke my heart into a thousand pieces, on the ground, because you created unnecessary and unwarranted pain, simply because of the choice to not tell the truth while you are a puppet in all of this. Something you will never understand,” he said. The Duchess filed a complaint against the media and, in 2021, a judgment ruled that the letter was “personal, private and not in a legitimate public interest” and found in favor of the defendant. Ademas,
Since then, England’s Enrique and Meghan Markle have filed numerous lawsuits against media organizations, as part of what the Duke of Sussex describes as a mission for truth and accountability after decades of press intrusion into his life. Early next year, the trial of Prince Enrique, along with six others (including singer Elton John), is expected to begin against the editor-in-chief of Daily Mailfor allegedly illegally obtaining information dating back 30 years.
