Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, underwent surgery to have his left leg amputated below the knee.

Thomas’ son, Thomas Markle Jr., confirmed to the Daily Mail on Friday, December 5, that the former Hollywood lighting director went under the knife on Wednesday, December 3, in the Philippines.

According to Thomas Jr., the elder Thomas’ underwent surgery after a blood clot cut off circulation to his left leg, causing the limb to turn black.

“My dad is being very brave. His foot turned blue and then black. It happened very quickly. I took him to a local hospital and they did some scans and an ultrasound and said the leg had to be amputated,” said Thomas Jr.

“There was no option. I was told the leg had to be removed and it was a case of life or death,” Thomas Jr. added.
