Philippine authorities have issued a new update on the investigation into Thomas Markle Sr., the 82‑year‑old father of Meghan Markle, after his son alerted local police and the FBI to a cache of child‑exploitation content found at the senior Markle’s Cebu residence. Acting Philippine National Police director Wilson Casueta told reporters that the inquiry is progressing and that a formal case will be filed should sufficient evidence be gathered. Casueta described one of the seized videos as showing both Asian and Caucasian children, stressing that no Filipino minors appeared in the footage. He also confirmed that the FBI and other US law‑enforcement bodies are conducting parallel investigations and collaborating with Filipino officials, though he noted that London police have not yet been in contact with the Philippine team. Separately, Mexican officials reportedly raided a storage unit near Markle’s former home in Rosarito, uncovering old magazines and books that appeared to contain child pornography from Asian publications, as well as other questionable images. The unit had been rented by the elder Markle after he moved from the United States to Mexico, and authorities are still awaiting the results of that search. Thomas Markle Sr. has categorically denied the accusations, calling his son’s allegations “bullshit” and claiming they are part of a personal vendetta. His half‑sister Samantha, Meghan’s aunt, defended him publicly and accused Thomas Jr. of seeking revenge. The Philippine Department of Justice’s regional prosecutor indicated that appropriate legal measures could be pursued if evidence points to a liable party, while the country’s interior minister suggested that the emerging facts could label Markle as a serious sexual offender. The case remains under active investigation by multiple jurisdictions, and further updates are expected as authorities examine digital devices and other material linked to the allegations. #Markle #ChildPorn #Philippines #FBI #Investigation #NYPost Fuente: New York Post
