- BY PATRICK HILL

MEGHAN Markle's dad faces fresh heartache after his son revealed health insurance will not cover the costs of his lifesaving care.

The revelation came after Thomas Markle Snr, 81, had his left leg amputated in a three-hour "life or death" operation after falling ill at his home in the Philippines.
