Meghan Markle ‘distressed’ as Philippines probes father over child sexual abuse images
Prince Harry’s wife said she had known about the allegations against Thomas Markle since 2018
“Our Anti-Trafficking and Anti-OSAEC (online sexual abuse and exploitation of children) task force in Cebu is currently investigating the matter,” Nicholas Ty, Philippine justice undersecretary, said.
Thomas Markle could not be immediately reached for comment but he was quoted by the Daily Mail newspaper in Britain as saying the allegations against him were untrue and “sick lies”.
Meghan, who married King Charles’ younger son and whose royal title is the Duchess of Sussex, said she was “deeply distressed” over the allegations, first published in Britain’s The Sun newspaper on Friday.
