Overview
- Investigators in the Philippines and Mexico have seized devices, magazines and other material said to be linked to alleged child sexual abuse images connected to Thomas Markle, and items are being examined forensically.
- Thomas Markle’s son reported finding the material in the former Cebu home and handed items to Philippine police, who obtained warrants and are coordinating with US authorities including the FBI.
- Mexican prosecutors raided a storage unit in Rosarito that was reported to have been rented by Markle and removed magazines and computer equipment for further investigation, according to AFP.
- The Metropolitan Police confirmed it gave Meghan Markle a 2019 letter alleging misconduct by her father and has self‑referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct over its handling of that correspondence.
- Markle has denied the allegations and no criminal charges have been filed yet, but his reported move to a specialist memory‑care facility on Friday could legally delay or limit interviews and any prosecution while cross‑border evidence sharing and forensic work continue.
