Meghan’s niece says she unknowingly sent letter behind father’s estrangement

Thomas Markle’s granddaughter, Noel Rasmussen, says she was shocked by reports that child sexual abuse material was found in a storage unit he rented in Mexico. She also revealed that she unknowingly mailed a letter from her grandmother containing allegations about Markle to Meghan, helping explain the estrangement between the Duchess and her father.

Mexican authorities raided the storage unit after the newspaper said it alerted the FBI; the article reports that the material included images of females who appeared young and magazines depicting children being sexually exploited. Markle, 82, is also reportedly under investigation in the Philippines over material found at a former home in Cebu. Rasmussen said she considers Meghan’s decision to cut ties with him in 2019 understandable, but the allegations and investigations have not been resolved in court in the article.
