Thomas Markle suffered fall days before stroke forcing him to cancel London trip for Jubilee

THOMAS Markle suffered a serious fall days before he was rushed to hospital — forcing him to pull out of a planned trip to London for the Platinum Jubilee.

Meghan’s dad, 77, told his royal author friend Tom Bower: “I’ve just fallen.

“Thankfully, some good people picked me up from the pavement.

"I’m going to head home.”

But within a few days, Thomas was seriously ill in a California hospital after suffering a suspected stroke and being taken by ambulance from his home across the border in Rosario, Mexico.

Bower said Thomas had been excited and hoping he could meet with his daughter and Prince Harry, and see his grandkids for the first time.

Meanwhile, Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, are set to switch off their Netflix cameras during Jubilee events — although it is feared they may still turn up at private locations with them.

Netflix has not sought accreditation for any of the official events or security clearance for behind-the-scenes royal filming, TV industry sources say.

Buckingham Palace did not want to comment but it is understood a Netflix team was not with the US-based couple when they met the Queen, Charles and Camilla at Windsor Castle last month.
