A spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex had previously declined to comment on reports, first published exclusively by the Daily Mail, that Meghan’s father was ill.
But in an updated statement this evening, they said: 'I can confirm she [Meghan] has reached out to her father.'
No further details have been released, including whether or not Meghan's attempt was successful.
It is understood that the Duchess of Sussex only found about about her father's health battles when reading about it in the news.
She then instructed her aides to verify the claims, according to The Times newspaper.
What are the odds she sat on the verification until today so that this story will take attention away from Catherine's Christmas concert?
And since she hasn't given her phone number to anybody in her family except Doria, just how does she expect her family to contact her other than through the media?
