Meghan's father may be 'sex offender of grossest kind'

The Philippine interior minister has accused Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle Sr, of potentially being a serious sex offender, according to the Sun. Thomas Markle Jr, Meghan's half-brother, discovered a collection of child sex abuse images at their father's former home in the Philippines, which he subsequently reported to local authorities and the FBI.

Their father has admitted to paying for sex in the country but denies possessing such material. Despite this, Meghan sent a letter to her father while he was recuperating from a leg amputation in 2025, informing him that she believed he was an abuser and would never see his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet. The Philippine National Police found a trove of child pornography and a laptop during an inspection of the property.

A forensic investigation into Thomas Markle Sr is expected to be completed within a week, providing a definitive picture of his alleged activities.
