A GoFundMe campaign initiated by Lady Colin Campbell has raised over $50,000 to support Thomas Markle, Meghan Markle's estranged father, as he faces health issues at the age of 80. Campbell describes Thomas as a generous individual whose kindness is well-regarded in the film community and emphasizes the importance of showing him solidarity after being 'rejected and abandoned' by his daughter. Thomas has expressed a desire to reconnect with Meghan and meet his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, though he has little hope for such a reunion. The fundraiser has surpassed its initial target significantly, reflecting public sentiment towards Thomas's situation. Their estranged relationship stems from events surrounding Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, which included Thomas's controversial staged paparazzi photos. Lady Colin's efforts aim to acknowledge Thomas's past contributions and provide him with comfort during this challenging time.
