Summary
Roslyn Loveless, Thomas Markle’s ex-wife and mother of Meghan’s half-siblings, wrote the 2019 letter sent to London’s Metropolitan Police alleging child abuse images, the BBC reported.
The Met said it received the letter in 2019 and shared it with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but did not pass its contents to other law-enforcement agencies; it is now reviewing that handling.
Thomas Markle Jr. told police he found child abuse videos and pictures among his father’s belongings at a former Philippines home and contacted the FBI in July; the FBI says it is aware of the allegations.
Philippine officials said their anti-human trafficking and child sexual exploitation task force is investigating, while Thomas Markle, 82, denies possessing abuse images or having sex with underage girls.
Meghan said she had long known of the “disturbing allegations” and had cut off contact with her father, saying she would not allow him contact with her children.
