Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, is currently in intensive care after undergoing an emergency surgery.

Thomas, 81, was hospitalized in the Philippines on Tuesday, December 2, after an undisclosed illness that required medical attention, which his son confirmed to the Daily Mail several hours later.

“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,” Thomas Markle Jr. told the outlet on Wednesday, December 3. “They raced us by ambulance, with the sirens going, to a much bigger hospital in the center of the city.”

He added, “My dad has undergone emergency surgery. I would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts.”
