Meghan Markle father allegations

Meghan Markle 'Distressed' by Father's Alleged Child Abuse Images

The Duchess of Sussex said she was "deeply distressed" by reports that her father, Thomas Markle, had child abuse images. She said a 2018 letter to royal protection officers informed her decision to keep her children away from him, and she had cut contact between him and her children over previous similar claims. Markle has been estranged from her father since 2018, when he was caught staging paparazzi photos before her wedding to Prince Harry.
