Meghan Markle reportedly told her father, Thomas Markle Sr., he’d never meet her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in a letter sent to him prior to his child sex abuse material allegations.
According to the Sun, the Duchess of Sussex, 45, accused her father, 82, of sexually abusing children and informed him that authorities were aware of his alleged wrongdoings.
Meghan also reportedly told him it would be the last time he’d ever hear from her.
Per the outlet, the letter was reportedly sent to Thomas Sr. after his leg was amputated in December 2025 following a blood clot that cut off his circulation.
He was in the hospital in the Philippines at the time. According to the Sun, the “Suits” alum took measures to ensure he received the communication by coordinating with hospital staff to deliver it directly to him.
The Sun claimed she also sent a form for him to sign to confirm he’d received the letter and reportedly had him videotaped receiving and reading it.
Meghan endured criticism at the time for failing to visit Thomas Sr. while he recovered in the hospital.
Her rep explained to Page Six at the time that the “With Love, Meghan” host had contacted her dad during the medical ordeal, telling us, “I can confirm she has reached out to her father.”
Page Six exclusively reported Friday that Meghan was informed of her father’s illicit activities via a letter Thomas Sr.’s ex-wife, Roslyn Loveless, sent police in 2019.
The letter landed in the hands of London’s Metropolitan Police before being forwarded to Meghan, multiple sources told us.
The former “Deal or No Deal” model said in a statement to Page Six that she was “deeply distressed” by the letter’s contents.
The letter “made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father and I was given assurances that these were being investigated,” Meghan said.
She added: “I hope it can now be understood that, despite certain media publications’ distortion over the years, any distance from my father and my choice to not allow him to have contact with our children, was for one reason: to protect them. I trusted that the authorities were doing the same for other families.”
Meghan concluded her statement, “My thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed.”

The Sun reported earlier this week that Thomas Markle Jr. claimed to have found a collection of child sex abuse material at Thomas Sr.’s home in Cebu City in the Philippines.
The outlet reported that Thomas Sr. is being investigated over “hundreds, if not thousands” of illicit images involving children, after his son undertook the lengthy process of formally submitting the material to authorities.
The Markle patriarch denied wrongdoing and called the allegations “sick lies” and “bullsh–t” in a statement to the Daily Mail, and his daughter, Samantha Markle, took his side, claiming her brother was angered after being cut off from his father’s finances and wanted “revenge.”
“I have no idea why Tom is trying to destroy me with these lies,” Thomas Sr. said, adding that he was “shocked” and “hurt” by the allegations.
Meanwhile, Thomas Jr. has doubled down on his claims while calling his father’s denials “incredible.”
“I’m sure the huge piles of evidence I’ve taken to the police today will reveal the truth once the police experts examine it,” he told the Sun on Friday.
Thomas Jr. and Samantha are the children of Thomas Sr. and his first wife, Loveless, to whom he was married from 1964 to 1975.
Markle is the daughter of Thomas Sr. and his second wife, Doria Ragland, to whom he was married from 1979 to 1987.
Thomas Sr. is reportedly living in a nursing and rehabilitation facility in Florida.
He and Thomas Jr. have not yet responded to Page Six’s requests for comment on the matter. A rep for Meghan did not immediately respond to our request for comment on Saturday.
