Meghan broke contact with father in letter citing abuse claims
Meghan said she was shown a 2018 police letter and cut contact to protect her children as investigators review the allegations.
- In December 2025, The Duchess wrote to her father, Thomas Markle Snr, banning him from meeting Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, citing 'disturbing allegations' regarding his conduct.
- The Metropolitan Police confirmed that in January 2019, they received a letter containing claims of alleged offending by Markle Snr outside the United Kingdom, which they passed to the Duke and Duchess but failed to share with other relevant law enforcement agencies.
- On Friday, Meghan issued a statement expressing distress over the allegations, while Markle Snr denied possessing illicit images, calling the accusations 'sick lies' in an interview with the Daily Mail.
- Admitting the failure to share claims with other agencies was an oversight, the force is now reviewing its handling of the 2019 matter and considering whether a referral to the IOPC is necessary.
- Authorities, including the FBI and The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking in the Philippines, are investigating the claims; Markle Snr, currently in Florida, has welcomed a forensic examination of his computer to refute allegations of misconduct.
