Meghan Markle is reportedly facing criticism over her alleged estrangement from her family, particularly her ailing father, Thomas Markle, who is "forcing himself to stay positive" despite a tragic leg amputation. According to a recent report by Radaronline.com, the 81-year-old is putting on a "very brave face" as his daughter reportedly has no plans of reconciliation.

It's worth noting that Thomas underwent a life-altering situation when he rushed to a medical center earlier in December after a big blood clot, leading doctors to amputate his left leg below the knee. Following the surgery, Meghan sent a letter to her father, but the content of the written message between father and daughter has not been revealed. A source told the outlet, "He's suffering, but he's refusing to let the ordeal defeat him." "He understands that nothing is likely to change with Meghan, so he's concentrating on his recovery and taking things one day at a time." "He's forcing himself to stay positive because there's little alternative. He is basically putting a very brave face on his pain and estrangement from Meghan," added another insider.
Meghan and Thomas' estrangement began during the duchess's nuptials back in 2018 when he allegedly staged paparazzi photographs. The situation has since then remained strained, with both parties seemingly unable to bridge the gap.
