That absence is what led King Charles to escort Meghan down the aisle at St. George’s Chapel, a gesture Thomas Sr. described as a “gracious and kind” act for which he would be “forever in debt.”
Since then, he has endured even more setbacks. He survived an earthquake and later suffered a 2022 stroke that temporarily robbed him of his speech. Therapy helped him regain some of his voice, but his overall health has steadily deteriorated.
Tragically, he has never met his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. With his condition worsening, Thomas Jr. fears time may be running out.
“My only wish is that Meghan shows my father some compassion. He is literally fighting for his life,” he told the Daily Mail.
Silence from Meghan, Outrage from the Public
While the emergency unfolded, the Duchess of Sussex has remained publicly silent. Instead, she posted a promotional clip on Wednesday for “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” a holiday-themed installment of her Netflix lifestyle series centered on cooking, crafting, gardening, and celebrity guests.
Her lack of acknowledgement immediately caught public attention.
