Why did Meghan use a letter instead of calling her father?

What caused Meghan and Thomas Markle’s strained relationship?

What is Thomas Markle’s health status after leg amputation?

Meghan Markle has reportedly deleted her father, Thomas Markle’s, phone number and has not made any plans to visit him. The 44-year-old has not been on speaking terms with her dad, who is recovering from a leg amputation in a hospital in the Philippines, since 2018.

This comes after it was reported earlier this week that Meghan had sent a letter to be hand-delivered to her dad at the hospital. It is understood that Meghan’s letter expressed her feelings regarding his decision to give several interviews to the media about their relationship, with the hope that the letter would remain private.

She is said to have refrained from directly contacting him at the hospital, as she fears that a phone call would be overheard, according to the Sunday Times. At the time of writing, it is understood that Meghan has not had a reply to her letter, nor any contact with her dad, since it was delivered.
