Meghan Markle's Father Won't Attend The Royal Wedding Because He Needs To Have Major Heart Surgery Tomorrow – Blames His SON For Triggering Heart Attack With His Letter To Prince Harry

It appears Thomas Markle won't be going to the royal wedding after all. 

Meghan Markle's father has once again pulled out of his daughter's big day, revealing that he needs to have major heart surgery on Wednesday morning.  

Mr Markle, 73, told TMZ that doctors will 'go in and clear blockage, repair damage, and put a stent where it is needed' during the operation.

He also revealed he believes his heart attack was triggered by an open letter to his son, Thomas Jr, wrote trying to convince Prince Harry not to marry Meghan.

Mr Markle has said he believed his ex-wife Doria Ragland would be a 'good choice' to give their daughter away at St George's Chapel, Windsor. Pictured: Doria with Meghan in March 2015

The surgery seems to be the final end to a roller coaster of speculation surrounding whether Mr Markle would attend the royal wedding, just hours after it seemed Meghan had convinced her father to change his mind and walk her down the aisle.

Mr Markle astonishingly pulled out of the royal wedding on Monday, saying he didn’t want to embarrass his daughter any further after the Mail on Sunday revealed he had staged paparazzi photos for money.

But on Tuesday it seemed he had backtracked on his decision after the bride-to-be pleaded with him to come to England.  

The 73-year-old told TMZ that Meghan tried calling him on Monday, but he wasn't near his phone. She later sent a text saying she loved him and was concerned about his health.

'I hate the idea of missing one of the greatest moments in history and walking my daughter down the aisle,' Mr Markle said on Tuesday.

'Of course I'd walk her down the aisle. This is a historic moment. I'd like to be a part of history.' 

Mr Markle, who had a heart attack a week ago, returned to the hospital on Tuesday after having chest pains.

He said a battery of tests found that the heart attack had done 'significant damage' and revealed he needed immediate surgery.  

Mr Markle also put the blame for his recent health troubles on his son Thomas, who told Prince Harry that marrying Meghan would be the 'biggest mistake in royal wedding history'.

'It’s not too late, Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you,' Thomas' letter, shared with InTouch, reads. 

'I'm confused why you don't see the real Meghan that the whole world now sees.' 

Thomas went on to call his half-sister a 'jaded, shallow, conceited woman, that will make a fool of you and the royal family heritage'. 

Just a week later, in another open letter, Thomas apologized for his words and begged Meghan to invite him to her wedding. 

But when it came to her father, Mr Markle revealed that Meghan held no hard feelings against him for setting up paparazzi photos for money.

When asked what the Queen thought about his money grab, Mr Markle laughed and said: 'I don't think the Queen is thinking about what I'm doing.'

Meghan Markle's brother Thomas' open letter to Prince Harry in full

Dear Prince Harry,

It’s not too late, Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you.

As more time passes to your royal wedding, it became very clear that this is the biggest mistake in royal wedding history.

I'm confused why you don't see the real Meghan that the whole world now sees.

Meghan's attempt to act the part of a princess like a below C average Hollywood actress is getting old.

What kind of person starts out by using her own father until he's bankrupt, then forgets about him in Mexico leaving him broke, over mostly all her debts.

And when it's time to pay him back she forgets her own father like she never knew him.

My father will never recover financially from paying Meghan’s way, nor emotionally from disowning him. Meg is showing her true colours.

It's very apparent that her tiny bit of Hollywood fame has gone to her head, changing her into a jaded, shallow, conceited woman, that will make a fool of you and the royal family heritage.

Not to mention, to top it all off, she doesn't invite her own family and instead invites complete strangers to the wedding. Who does that? You and the royal family should put an end to this fake fairytale wedding before it's too late.

Her own father didn’t get an invite, whom should be walking her down the aisle.

She forgets if it wasn’t for my father she would be busing tables and babysitting to pay her old debt off.

The whole world is watching Meg make bad decisions and choices, it’s not too late Harry.

Meghan is still my sister. She is family. So, whatever happens, is up to her, whether she wants to forget knowing me or the rest of her family, family comes first.

Also, you would think that a royal wedding would bring a torn family closer together, but I guess we're all distant family to Meg.

Sincerely Tom Markle Jr 

Mr Markle said although he doesn't believe faking the 'hammy' photos was that serious, he admitted it was a 'stupid' decision.   

He also blasted his eldest daughter Samantha Markle, who revealed she convinced Mr Markle to set up the photos.

Mr Markle said Samantha has no real relationship with Meghan, and knows nothing of her relationship with Prince Harry. 

Before changing his mind, Mr Markle said he believed his ex-wife Doria Ragland would be a 'good choice' to give their daughter away at St George's Chapel, Windsor. 

Doria is about to fly into the UK from Los Angeles to support her daughter and would be the clear favourite to walk her down the aisle if Mr Markle is not cleared by doctors to fly. 

Prince Charles is 2/1 with the bookies to step in while Prince William is 5/1 to take Meghan into St George's before starting his duties as Harry's best man.

There has also been a flurry of bets on Meghan walking down the aisle alone. .

On Monday night Mr Markle told TMZ Meghan's mother should be the person to do it.
