Authorities in the Philippines are investigating Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, following allegations that he possessed child sexual abuse images. The investigation was confirmed on Friday by a Philippine justice undersecretary, marking a major development involving the family of Britain's Prince Harry.
In response to the probe and the underlying claims, the Duchess of Sussex released a statement expressing that she is deeply distressed. She revealed that a 2018 letter sent to royal protection officers previously informed her decision to keep her children away from her father.
