Philippine police secure warrant to examine devices in Thomas Markle Sr. child abuse probe

Philippine authorities have obtained a court warrant to examine digital devices and media seized from the former Cebu home of Thomas Markle Sr., the 82-year-old father of the Duchess of Sussex. The investigation follows reports that his son, Thomas Markle Jr., handed over boxes containing computers, phones, and videotapes allegedly depicting child sexual abuse. While Markle Sr. denies the claims, Meghan Markle confirmed she learned of similar allegations in 2019, which led to her severing contact with him to protect her children. UK police are now reviewing how they handled a 2019 letter regarding these claims.
