Meghan’s father will find relief after a grueling few months as plans are now underway to fit him with a prosthetic leg following emergency surgery.
His son, Thomas Markle Jr, revealed that the next big step was mobility.
Intensive physiotherapy sessions are underway and the family is preparing for the installation of an artificial limb.
Recently, the 81-year-old marked a small but significant step forward by changing from his hospital gown to everyday clothes for the first time since the operation.
He even joined other patients and staff for a Valentine’s Day lunch with red roses and chocolates, which he described as “great fun.”
Talk to The mail On Sunday, Markle Sr said he was slowly adjusting to his new reality.
Thomas Markle Sr, is recovering after doctors were forced to amputate his left leg below the knee in December 2025.
The emergency operation, which lasted three hours, came after a blood clot in his thigh cut off circulation to his foot.
Physiotherapy remains a daily commitment, but he insists he is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving.
Despite years of estrangement, Meghan reportedly contacted her father after the operation.
A spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex confirmed at the time that she reached out after the procedure which saved her life.
The 81-year-old has not seen his daughter since her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.
