Thomas Markle is in intensive care after undergoing emergency surgery, his son has said.
The Duchess of Sussex’s father was rushed to hospital on Tuesday after he was taken gravely ill at his home in the Philippines.
He was in an intensive care unit on Wednesday night after undergoing three hours of surgery earlier in the day.
Mr Markle will need to undergo a second operation to remove a blood clot.
“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,” his son Thomas Jnr told the Daily Mail.
“They raced us by ambulance, with the sirens going, to a much bigger hospital in the centre of the city. My dad has undergone emergency surgery. I would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts.”
