Meghan Markle received shocking news before special celebrations at the Montecito mansion.
The Duchess of Sussex, who tries to avoid the controversies of her father Thomas Markle, was once again the center of attention.
The 81-year-old fell in love with Filipino nurse Rio Caneda during his treatment at the hospital in Peru.
According to a close family source, “Thomas told me he would marry her in a heartbeat, and he’s telling the rest of the family that he’s happier than he ever imagined at the thought of spending the rest of his life with Rio.”
Thomas underwent life-saving emergency surgery last December. His left leg below the knee was amputated due to a blood clot.
The Duchess’s father previously expressed his joy at finding love at this stage of his life.
According to express.co.uk, “he still has a recovery stretch to cover, at least a few months in the United States, where he has been witnessing Rio almost every day.”
The source said that “the sound of those bells is very much on her mind and it’s pretty clear that she loves him very much too.”
