Meghan Markle has addressed disturbing allegations involving her estranged father, Thomas Markle Snr, explaining why she has maintained distance from him and kept her children away. The Duchess of Sussex says she became aware of allegations in 2018, shortly after marrying Prince Harry.
Authorities in the Philippines are investigating claims that Thomas Markle Snr strongly denies. The FBI is supporting Philippine law enforcement, while the Metropolitan Police is reviewing how a letter concerning the allegations was handled in 2018.
Meghan has expressed concern for any children who may have been harmed and said she hopes justice will be served. The investigations are ongoing, and the allegations have not been established as fact.
