Meghan “Deletes” Dad’s Number as Andrew Loses Rank and Royal Lodge Gets Cleared at Night

Meghan Markle is reported to have deleted Thomas Markle’s phone number and has no plans to visit him as he recovers in a Philippine hospital following a leg amputation, despite a letter said to have been hand delivered to him this week. Sources question why she will not call, while Page Six claims she has no trip planned, as the Sussexes prepare for a Montecito Christmas and an overseas New Year’s getaway. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is stripped of his final remaining military rank, formally demoted by the Defence Council, as renewed Epstein scrutiny swirls again. The Metropolitan Police also says it will take no further action over allegations Andrew sought information about accuser Virginia Giuffre. Add in fresh reporting on Andrew’s looming exit from Royal Lodge, including a temporary “shoebox-sized” stop at Sandringham and claims of a slow, room-by-room clear-out, and it is another messy chapter for the York story.
