Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, revealed on Tuesday that he will not be able to attend the royal wedding as he needs to have heart surgery on Wednesday, May 16. “They will go in and clear blockage, repair damage and put a stent where it is needed,” he told TMZ. Thomas’ reveal comes after he told TMZ he suffered a heart attack on May 8. On Monday, May 14, he told the outlet that he wouldn’t be attending the wedding after he was caught allegedly staging paparazzi photos.
