Meghan Markle 'distressed' over claims father had child abuse images

LONDON — Meghan Markle expressed deep distress over claims that her father possessed child abuse images, according to recent reports in the Sun and Daily Mail newspapers. The papers alleged that such images were found among Thomas Markle's belongings at his former residence in the Philippines. However, Prince Harry's wife maintained that she had severed contact between her children and her father due to previous "troubling and disturbing" allegations.

In response to the recent reports, Meghan revealed that she had come across a letter sent to London's Metropolitan Police and the Royalty and Specialist Protection, which contained similar accusations against her father.

Thomas Markle, who reportedly resides in a rehabilitation center in Florida, vehemently denied all the claims, labeling them as "sick lies." However, a source close to the situation revealed that the Metropolitan Police had neither investigated nor was planning to investigate the allegations. Markle's statement made it clear that the Metropolitan Police had not found any evidence to support the accusations, and thus, no further action was taken.
