After release: Meghan Markle's father back behind bars, and to be held separately from other inmates

In depth

Thomas Markle was arrested in Florida after cutting and removing the electronic ankle monitor attached to his leg. A few days earlier he had been released under restrictive conditions after being suspected of possessing material documenting the sexual abuse of children.

The court was not persuaded by the initiative and ordered that he remain in custody pending the continuation of the proceedings. Markle will be held separately from other inmates in federal custody, and he denies the charge against him.

Meanwhile, his daughter, the Duchess of Sussex, made her first public appearance since the arrest alongside her husband Prince Harry, at an event on child online safety. She cancelled the speech planned for her, and Harry delivered the remarks alone without answering reporters' questions.
