## Key points

- Thomas Markle denies his son’s allegations about child sexual abuse images.
- Meghan says she kept her father from her children to protect them.
- Her 2022 “Daddy’s Girl” remark came years after the letter she cites.

## Summary

Thomas Markle has been accused by his son, Thomas Jr, of possessing child sexual abuse images at his home in the Philippines. Markle denies the allegation, while his daughter Samantha says her brother made it up for money. The claims have renewed attention on Meghan’s estrangement from her father and on her explanation that she kept him from meeting her children to protect them.

The article notes that Meghan called herself “a Daddy’s Girl my whole life” in a 2022 documentary, four years after she says police received a letter containing disturbing allegations about her father. It contrasts this with their earlier closeness, including childhood routines and his support for her ambitions, and traces their estrangement to his staged paparazzi photographs before her 2018 wedding. The allegations remain disputed, and the article describes wider tensions within the Markle family.
