Overview
- Thomas Markle has moved back from the Philippines to the United States to pursue ongoing rehabilitation and be fitted with an advanced prosthetic leg, according to his half-sister Samantha.

- Meghan’s spokesperson previously confirmed a handwritten letter from the Duchess was delivered to him, though the long public estrangement remains unresolved.
- He says the next steps in recovery include securing an electric wheelchair and progressing to a prosthetic that can help him walk again.
- While living in Cebu last year to seek a quieter life, he began a relationship with nurse Rio Canedo, who saw him off at the airport and plans to keep in touch.
