Meghan Markle is reportedly trying to mend her relationship with Thomas Markle, who has returned home from the hospital after suffering a stroke.

“I feel hugely grateful and know how lucky I am to be alive. I want to thank everyone, especially the wonderful doctors and nurses who saved my life. They are angels,” Thomas told the Daily Mail through written communication (per Us Weekly). “I have been deeply moved by loving messages I’ve received from all over the world. People have been so kind. I can’t speak right now, but I am working hard and will thank people properly when I can.”

Thomas has been estranged from Duchess Meghan since he notoriously staged paparazzi photos, which she spoke about at length to Oprah in March 2021:

However, The Mirror reports that Meghan is trying to end her rift with Thomas in the wake of his health scare, with a source saying, “Despite their estrangement, Meghan is concerned. She wants to know if there is any way to contact her father privately, without other family knowing about it or having to get involved.” The source adds, “Meghan can’t contact her half-siblings because she believes they have their own agendas. If she can contact their dad, she wants it to be totally private. It won’t involve Netflix, it won’t involve any photographs, and it must not involve any tip-offs to the paparazzi.”

Unfortunately, Thomas has a history of not respecting Meghan’s boundaries, but here’s to hoping they are able to repair their relationship and that Thomas makes a swift recovery.
