Meghan Markle‘s father may be walking her down the aisle after all.
Thomas Markle said he has changed his mind after speaking to his daughter and has decided to travel to Windsor and to attend Meghan and Prince Harry‘s wedding.
However, Thomas says this is all contingent on his doctor’s approval and that he is back in the hospital after reportedly suffering a heart attack last week.
Thomas says that Meghan attempted to call him yesterday, but that he was not near his phone to answer the call. She then sent him a text message, in which he says that she said that she loved him and was worried about him and how he was feeling. He says that Meghan also told him that she was not angry that he coordinated with a photographer to stage photoshoots ahead of the wedding, a decision Thomas now says was “stupid.”
“I hate the idea of missing one of the greatest moments in history and walking my daughter down the aisle,” he said. “Of course I’d walk her down the aisle. This is a historic moment. I’d like to be a part of history.”
Thomas also spoke of his other daughter, Samantha Markle, who has frequently spoken out about half-sister Meghan throughout Meghan’s relationship with Harry. He said the two women are not close. A source previously told PEOPLE that Meghan has never had much of a relationship with Samantha or her half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr.
“Meghan has no relationship with her half-siblings, nor has she ever had one,” the source says. “They were out of the house by the time she was born."

He had a heart attack last week. Really?
This royal wedding looks like a total cluster.
Two highly dis-functional families.
The Windsors and the Markles.
What a mess.
TMZ says Mr Markles doctors are hedging and may not let him fly until after Wednesday...
She should have had Spike Lee walk her down the Aisle.
Only if you're a monarchist.
Hope he doesn’t have a medical emergency walking her down the aisle.
Kinda symbolic of the whole “royal family” nowadays
She’s pretty. How did her two parents create such a pretty child?
So.....much.......DRAMA! Our long national nightmare is over.
Is anybody with an IQ greater than room temperature still watching this drama unfold?
What should have been glorious pageantry has been reduced to a mean-girl confrontation with the various persons who are “uninvited”.
tmz says the dad is back in hospital for chest pains, what if he passes?
By my count he mentions history 3 times. Sounds like that's more important to him than being with his daughter on her wedding day.
IKR! They make the Spencers look like the Nelsons.
Is he going to give the 100 thou back?
I thought he wasn’t invited??
