Meghan Markle Faces Fresh Criticism Over 2018 Silence on Father Allegations

Rob Shuter on Oct. 24 accused Meghan Markle of protecting Archie and Lilibet while staying publicly silent after learning allegations about her father in 2018, saying she failed to warn other families.
Meghan has said a letter detailing the claims was sent to Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection in 2018, and that she was told authorities were investigating and advised not to speak publicly.
Her statement said she kept her children away from Thomas Markle Sr. "for one reason: to protect them," while also saying she trusted authorities to safeguard others and hoped justice would be served.
Thomas Markle Sr. denies the allegations, which remain unproven, and there is no publicly verified evidence Meghan withheld information from investigators or had a duty to publicize unsubstantiated claims.
The dispute now centers as much on how a 2018 letter was handled as on Meghan's silence, with the Metropolitan Police reportedly reviewing that response while saying it has not investigated an elderly man living outside the UK.
