Meghan Markle's Estranged Father Investigated for Child Pornography

Thomas Markle Sr., the estranged father of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly under investigation in the Philippines for allegedly possessing a significant collection of child pornography. The probe was initiated after his son, Thomas Markle Jr., discovered what he described as "hundreds, if not thousands" of child sex abuse images.

Markle Jr. reportedly found the disturbing material in four boxes stored at his father's home in Cebu. He also contacted FBI investigators in the United States, who are said to be planning their own investigation into the 82-year-old Markle Sr., who currently resides in the U.S. According to The Sun, Markle Jr. expressed his horror at the discovery, stating, "I have supported, cared for him and helped him for years — but that stops now." He further indicated he would not speak to his father again unless required to give evidence against him.
