Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., has returned home from the hospital following a ‘near-fatal’ stroke, just as it was rumoured that the Duchess of Sussex had reached out to him, according to The Sun.

According to accounts, Thomas was permitted to leave the hospital five days following his stroke.

Talking to Mail on Sunday after being discharged, Thomas said: “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.”

“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,” he added.

The retired Hollywood lighting expert had reportedly been planning to visit the UK this week for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations but the stroke put a dent in his plans.

Thomas was in Mexico last Monday when he fell ill and was rushed to a hospital emergency. He reportedly lost his speech for a while after the stroke, close sources had said.
