The Telegraph understands that the Duchess emailed her father on Friday in an attempt to “reach out”.
However, Mr Markle told the Mail on Sunday he was “confused” by reports that she had attempted to make contact, insisting he had not changed his number and had received no messages.
It was claimed that the email was sent to an address he had not used for five years, but sources said it appeared to have been delivered and did not bounce back.
Meghan’s aides have made clear that if he is willing to share a different address, it will be forwarded on.
Mr Markle made the comments from his hospital bed in the Philippines.
A surgeon responsible for his care told the newspaper that the procedure to amputate his foot was a matter of “life and death”.
“We had to remove the foot. There was a massive blood clot in his thigh and that had stopped circulation to his foot and lower leg,” he said.
“It was life-or-death surgery. Had the infection in the foot moved to his heart, it would most likely have been fatal. He is doing well but he is not out of the woods yet.”
