Thomas Markle moves to Florida memory care as investigations continue
Thomas Markle Sr has reportedly moved to a Florida care home specialising in memory care after being diagnosed with dementia. The move may complicate an FBI investigation into allegations that child sexual abuse images were found among his belongings, while authorities in the Philippines say he could face prosecution if found guilty.

Separately, the UK police watchdog is investigating why a 2019 letter containing allegations against him, handed to Meghan by a royal protection officer, was not escalated or shared with other law enforcement agencies.
