## Summary

Meghan Markle says she is “deeply distressed” by allegations that her father, Thomas Markle Snr, possessed child sexual abuse images. She says a letter containing troubling allegations was sent to the Metropolitan Police and royal protection officials in 2018, then shared with her, and that she was told they were being investigated. Meghan says she kept her father from meeting her children to protect them and hopes justice is served.

The allegations were made by Meghan’s half-brother, Tom Jr, who told The Sun he found hundreds of images on computers and a phone in storage boxes. Thomas Markle strongly denies possessing the images, calling the accusations lies, and disputes who had access to the devices after they were moved from Mexico to the Philippines. The article says he is the subject of a child sex investigation and is recovering in a Florida rehabilitation centre after his left leg was amputated.
