Prince Harry BLAMED Meghan Markle’s dad for suffering two heart attacks saying he should have listened to Royal’s advice over staged paparazzi photos
Thomas Markle has produced a pile of paperwork showing he suffered two heart attacks
MEGHAN Markle's dad claims Prince Harry blamed him for suffering two heart attacks in a cutting hospital phone call.
Thomas Markle, 74, says the Royal rung him while he was still recovering in hospital and said "this would never have happened" if Harry's advice over staged paparazzi photos had been listened to.
Thomas was unable to attend his daughter's wedding earlier this year after suffering a heart attack just days before the Royal event took place.
The medical crisis occurred at the same as he was exposed for setting up paparazzi pictures in what amounted to a huge embarrassment for Meghan and Prince Harry.
And in an interview with the , Thomas revealed Prince Harry was not exactly supportive and instead appeared to blame him for his medical woes.
"I apologised to Harry on the phone and all he said was, “If you’d listened to me, none of this would have happened.”
At the time rumours circulated that he had faked the heart attack in order to have an excuse not to attend his daughter’s wedding.
He said: “I had two heart attacks, the second of which the doctor called a widow-maker and nearly killed me.”
Thomas also 74, provided evidence he had two heart attacks producing a series of medical notes, bills and letters.
Mr Markle dismissed the rumours about his fake heart attack, as well as the ones which say he didn’t attend Meghan’s first wedding as “bulls**t”.
He reportedly produced a pile of papers showing he had suffered two heart attacks.
The first one was on the weekend before the wedding and was in a Mexico hospital for a day and a half.
He then drove to Los Angeles to deliver flowers to his ex-wife Doria before falling ill again when he returned to his home in Rosarito.
Mr Markle said: “The doctors told me I was having a second heart attack. I had a blocked artery which they call the widow maker.
“A friend took me across the border to a US hospital and they saved my life.”
He was discharged from Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center in California on May 17 after racking up a bill of just under $130,000 (£88,760).
Mr Markle also rubbished claims he did not attend Meghan’s first wedding to film producer Trevor Engelson in 2011.

He produced a photo of him with Meghan in Ocho Rios, Jamaica just moments before he and Doria walked with her to the Jamaica Inn, where the wedding was being held.
Mr Markle also produced his plane ticket for the four-day trip, along with an invitation.
He also rubbished the idea he was never close to his daughter, producing an array of cards and letters from her, including a Valentine’s card where she had written: “I love you with all of my heart now and forever.”
She signed it Bean, her childhood nickname.
