Meghan Markle’s father has been spotted out in public for the first time since missing the royal wedding.

The 73-year-old was captured back in Mexico after having heart surgery last Wednesday.

Thomas Markle was filmed outside a Starbucks by TMZ. In the photos taken by the media outlet, Mr Markle can be seen speaking and laughing with a friend.

The news comes after Us Weekly reported that Meghan did not speak to her father on the day of her wedding.

The Duchess was said to be “devastated” after her father dropped out of her wedding. Mr Markle had hoped to attend the wedding, however his heart surgery prevented him from flying.

Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mother, was the only member of her family in attendance at the wedding.

Speaking to TMZ after the wedding, Thomas said, “The service was beautiful and it is history. I will always regret not being able to be there and not being able to hold my daughter’s hand.”

Thomas is yet to meet his new son-in-law Prince Harry, 33, although he is thought to have spoken with the royal on the phone.
It has also been suggested that Meghan and Prince Harry may visit Thomas Markle at his home in Mexico within the next few months.
Prince Charles took on her father’s role and walked Meghan down the aisle for her big day.
