Overview
- Mexican authorities searched a rented storage unit near Rosarito and seized computers, USB sticks, photos and printed material that investigators say are linked to Thomas Markle Sr.
- Philippine police are examining material that Meghan’s half brother, Thomas Markle Jr., says he found at their father’s property and formally reported to authorities.
- Scotland Yard confirmed it handed Meghan a seven‑page handwritten letter of allegations in January 2019 and officials are reviewing why those warnings were not referred to other agencies at the time.
- Investigators in Mexico and the Philippines are working with UK authorities and have reportedly notified U.S. investigators, but forensic analysis has not yet established the nature of the seized content or its ownership.
- Thomas Markle Sr. denies the claims and the presumption of innocence applies; the next steps will hinge on forensic results, chain‑of‑custody reviews and any cross‑border evidence sharing that could lead to charges.
