Meghan Markle's father Thomas has been the subject of quite a bit of drama over the past couple of weeks. But in his latest admission, he's confirmed that he will no longer be attending her wedding to Prince Harry this weekend.

The 73-year-old suffered a heart attack last week and pulled out of walking Meghan down the aisle on Monday to "save her embarrassment" after he'd organised some staged paparazzi photos for money.

Yesterday, it was reported that Meghan had been able to change his mind - however, after a further hospital visit yesterday following chest pains, Thomas was told that the heart attack had done "serious damage" and he would need surgery immediately, which will take place today at 3.30pm GMT.

But the former lighting director, who lives in Mexico, has sensationally blamed his own son, Thomas Jr, for the heart attack.

Thomas Jr apparently wrote a letter to Prince Harry, urging him not to marry his sister as it would be the "biggest mistake in royal wedding history."

The letter, shared with InTouch, apparently read, "It's not too late, Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you.

"I'm confused why you don't see the real Meghan that the whole world now sees," before adding that poor Meghan was a "jaded, shallow, conceited woman, that will make a fool of you and the royal family heritage."

But a week later, Thomas Jr penned yet another letter, apologising for what he'd written and apparently begging for an invitation to the wedding.

Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry will be taking place this Saturday at Windsor Castle in Berkshire.

Prince Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie will also tie the knot at the Castle this year, marrying her fiancé Jack Brooksbank in the autumn.
