They haven't spoken in 4 years after Thomas Markle didn't attend his daughter's royal wedding to Prince Harry, leaving Prince Charles to walk her down the aisle. He told her he wouldn't be attending at the last minute due to "heart problems" but it emerged he had stage photos buying his wedding suit for the paparazzi.
Thomas had planned on attending the Queen's Jubilee celebration, couldn't travel because he had a stroke last week. Nobody from the Royal family had invited him so he would just be in London like any other member of the public.
He has now been discharged from hospital after 5 days and has said he is "hugely grateful and know how lucky I am to be alive". The stroke has taken its toll on his speech but he will work with speech therapists to improve his condition.
Meghan is said to be open to a private meeting with him on the condition nobody tips off the paparazzi or her half-siblings.
