Mexican investigators raid storage unit rented by Meghan's father Thomas Markle
TIJUANA: Mexican authorities raided a storage unit rented by Meghan Markle’s estranged father as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged child sex abuse material, the state prosecutor’s office told AFP on Monday.
Mexican authorities conducted a search of a storage unit previously occupied by Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, as part of an investigation into alleged child sex abuse material, according to the state prosecutor's office. The 82-year-old, who has denied the allegations, had lived in Mexico before moving to the Philippines in 2025 and then returning to the United States.
The prosecutor's office in Mexico's Baja California state received an anonymous tip about the existence of the material in the storage unit. They found magazines from Asia dating back 20 years and computer equipment that has been taken for further examination. Meghan Markle expressed deep distress over the accusations in a statement, stating she had blocked contact between her father and her children over previous troubling allegations.
She mentioned seeing similar accusations made to the London Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection in 2018.
