Philippines investigates Thomas Markle, father of Meghan, after child sexual abuse images claims

  • On Thursday, October 22, Thomas Markle Jr. reported his father, Thomas Markle Sr., to authorities after allegedly discovering hundreds of child sexual abuse images inside his father's Philippines home.
  • A 2018 letter sent to the Metropolitan Police accusing the 82-year-old of abuse was written by his late ex-wife, Roslyn Loveless, who previously described him as an 'awful father.'
  • Following the revelation, the Metropolitan Police confirmed they passed the letter to Meghan and Prince Harry in 2019 but did not share details with other law enforcement agencies.
  • Philippine Interior Minister Jonvic Remulla confirmed an investigation, calling Markle a 'possible sex offender of the grossest kind,' though Markle Sr. denied the allegations, branding them 'sick lies.'
  • Meghan released a statement Friday expressing distress and prioritizing the need to 'protect' her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom she has kept estranged from her father since 2018.
