Meghan Markle's Family Break Amid Father's Scandal
28 Oct
Summary
- Meghan is on a half-term break with her family abroad.
- Allegations involve child abuse images found at her father's former home.
- Thomas Markle denies possessing child sex images, calling them lies.
The Duchess of Sussex is currently enjoying a half-term holiday abroad with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. This international break for the family began before allegations surfaced regarding her father, Thomas Markle. The claims, as reported, involve the discovery of child abuse images at her father's former residence in the Philippines.
Thomas Markle Jr. reportedly alerted authorities and FBI investigators in the US concerning these images. However, Thomas Markle Sr. has issued a strong denial, refuting the accusations as 'sick lies' and stating he never possessed such material.
Sources indicate that the Duchess was made aware of troubling allegations concerning her father back in 2018. She was reportedly assured at the time that these matters, presented in a letter to Scotland Yard, were under investigation.
The timing of the Sussex family's holiday is understood to be a pre-planned coincidence, rather than an attempt to escape the ensuing media attention. The family is expected to return to the UK by the end of the week.
