Philippines plan ‘appropriate legal action’ against Thomas Markle
Philippine police are investigating a laptop found alongside images of child abuse at the former home of Meghan Markle’s estranged father, with “full results” expected in a week, the country’s interior minister told reporters.

Philippine police are probing a laptop discovered at the former residence of Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, alongside child abuse images, according to the country’s interior minister Jonvic Remulla. The laptop was among the items found during an inspection of Markle’s home in Cebu, Philippines, which Remulla said would undergo forensic examination, with results anticipated within a week.
The probe is in response to allegations reported by the British tabloid the Sun, which claimed that Markle’s son, Thomas Markle junior, discovered the child pornography materials while sorting through his father’s belongings. Meghan Markle expressed her distress over the accusations, stating that she has blocked communication between her father and her children due to previous troubling allegations.
She also mentioned having seen a letter from 2018 regarding similar accusations made to the Metropolitan Police and the royal couple, though the London police stated they had forwarded the information to the royals without sharing it with other agencies. Meghan reportedly penned a final letter to her father last year, accusing him of abuse and warning he would never meet his grandchildren.
The royal couple left Britain and retired from royal duties in 2020 after a contentious family dispute, but recently returned to the UK with their children in August.
