Story summary

As of November 4, 2026, Filipino police are investigating Thomas Markle Sr, the estranged father of Duchess Meghan (also known as the Duchess of Sussex), after finding child abuse images at his apartment in Cebu City, Philippines. The Philippine National Police confirmed they discovered files consisting of Child Sexual Exploitative and Abuse Material on digital devices recovered from the residence. Thomas Markle Jr., Meghan’s brother, initially reported these materials to local police and the FBI when he found them while clearing out their father's home.

In response to the allegations, Meghan stated she is "deeply distressed" by the news, expressing her hope for justice and prioritizing child safety. The investigation involves collaboration between Filipino authorities and the FBI; Major General Wilson Asueta of the Philippine National Police said they are close to bringing formal charges against Thomas Markle Sr., who has denied possessing any illegal images, calling the accusations "sick lies."
