According to Thomas Jr., doctors at a local hospital near their home performed scans and concluded that his father’s life was in immediate danger. “I took dad to a hospital close to our home and they did various scans and the doctors said his life was in imminent danger,” he recalled. Fearing the worst, they rushed him via ambulance—with sirens blaring—to a larger medical center in the city. “They raced us by ambulance, with the sirens going, to a much bigger hospital in the center of the city. My dad has undergone emergency surgery.”
The first operation reportedly lasted about three hours. But medical experts warned the family that treatment was far from over. The elder Markle will reportedly undergo another procedure aimed at removing a dangerous blood clot. In a heartfelt appeal, Thomas Jr. asked for prayers and support from well-wishers worldwide. “I would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts,” he said.

Thomas had reportedly moved to Cebu with Thomas Jr. as recently as May. The relocation followed ongoing estrangement between him and Meghan Markle that began back in 2018 — the same year the former actress married into the British royal family. Since then, family ties have remained distant, but Thomas Jr. remains close to his father and has taken charge of his care during this critical period.
As news of the hospitalization spread, fans and observers of royal-family affairs expressed concern. Many across social media offered prayers and support. For now, the focus remains on Thomas Markle’s recovery and the success of his upcoming operation to remove the clot. The family hopes the additional procedure will stabilize his condition and give him a chance at healing.
