Meghan Markle and her father are planning to reunite in secret in the US later this month, friends of the Duchess have reported.
A source claims that Meghan will take a solo trip home to America later this month to see her estranged father Thomas Markle, according to the Mirror.
The 74-year-old former lighting director is said to be ‘delighted’ about the potential visit from Meghan, and is ‘keeping two dates free at the end of the month’.
The meeting would be the first time the former actress has seen her reclusive father in several months after he pulled out of her wedding to Prince Harry in May, citing health concerns.
Thomas reportedly suffered a heart attack after selling staged paparazzi photos to the media ahead of the nuptials.
