Philippines police find child pornography at Thomas Markle's former residence

Philippine authorities have discovered a “significant volume of child pornography material” and a laptop during an inspection of the former residence of Thomas Markle in Cebu, Philippines. The investigation was launched by the Philippine National Police (PNP) following reports made by Markle's son.

Thomas Markle, the 82-year-old father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has denied the allegations, calling them “a lot of lies” and suggesting his computer may have been hacked. He maintained that he has never had sexual relations with anyone under the age of 18.

Meghan Markle expressed that she is “deeply shaken” by the allegations and stated she has prevented any communication between her father and her children following previous reports. Authorities are currently examining the seized laptop to recover digital evidence, with full results expected within a week.
