In depth

Thomas Markle Jr. filed a complaint against his 82-year-old father, after allegedly finding documentation of sexual abuse of minors in the father's apartment in the Philippines. The FBI confirmed receiving the information, but no indictments have been filed yet. According to Maariv, the father was questioned on suspicion of possessing images documenting sexual abuse of children.

Meghan Markle broke her silence and responded to the suspicions against her father, revealing that a letter with disturbing accusations against him was brought to her attention as early as 2018. "My thoughts are with all the children who may have been harmed", she told the magazine "Variety". According to Maariv, a letter she sent to her father while he was hospitalized was revealed, in which she stated that she refused to allow him contact with her children.

Thomas Markle Sr. categorically denies the claims. According to Srugim, new details about the investigation and the information in police possession were highlighted following the suspicions.
