Samantha Markle has encouraged her sister Meghan Markle to get in touch with their dead after the former Hollywood lighting director suffered a stroke.
Meghan, 40, is believed to have had no contact with her dad since just before her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018.
Thomas’s ill health comes just days before he had planned to travel to London to join the millions of people celebrating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
But after Meghan previously claimed she had no siblings during her now-infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, Samantha has now laughed off that claim.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Samantha claimed Meghan had made no contact with her father who remains in hospital.

She said: “My brother and I know up to the minute, we’re in contact 20-25 times a day and my brother is with dad.
“She has not reached out to dad, his phone number has not changed, Tom is with my dad around the clock.
“I talk to my dad by text and talk to Tom 20 times a day, there has been no reach out an effort from Meghan whatsoever – not true at all.

“All things considered, there has been nothing stopping her, PR pieces said she wanted to reach out privately, without her siblings being in the way.”
Samantha continued: “That’s funny because she told Oprah she had no siblings, so there’s a paradox. There’s no excuse for her not being there.
“If she can travel to Texas to have cameras in tow and photographers, over the massacre of 20 children, there’s no reason she can’t get a couple of hours to visit my Father.

“Montecito is not that far away from him – all things considered, there is no excuse for not texting him or for not visiting him, the siblings are not in the way, we’ve always encouraged her to reach out, she knows how to do that.”
Reflecting on the striking image of Meghan writing messages on bananas to sex workers, Samantha joked: “Be a good bananaitarian and call dad.”

Thomas’ stroke means he is unable to talk but Samantha explained his “language comprehension is perfect”, meaning Meghan could “text him, contact him and he could text back.”
Samantha previously claimed Meghan had shown “negligence” towards their dad who has suffered from two heart attacks and now a stroke.
Daily Star has approached Meghan’s representative for comment.
