Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left the United Kingdom and traveled to friends amid a scandal involving her father, Thomas Markle Sr., who is reportedly under investigation for allegations related to child sexual abuse materials.
According to information from Hello! magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have gone abroad to spend time with close friends. A source close to Meghan stated that she is very upset about the fallout from the scandal involving her father. «She constantly looks at Lilibet and cries, thinking about all the children who are alleged victims. She has young kids. It’s just devastating», - the source noted.
The scandal erupted on October 22, when it became known that 82-year-old Thomas Markle Sr. is under investigation by local authorities after his son, Thomas Markle Jr., reported finding child sexual abuse materials at their father’s home in the Philippines, where he lived until early 2025.
According to the source, Meghan has decided to isolate herself from the media to protect her mental health, but the allegations against her father have made this nearly impossible. «She is receiving a lot of messages from friends in the UK and people from around the world expressing their condolences, but it’s just an emotional rollercoaster for her», - added a friend of Meghan.
Meghan has not spoken to her father since 2018, when he was accused of trying to profit from her fame by posing for paparazzi. Thomas Markle Sr., who is currently living in a nursing home in Florida, has denied all allegations and expressed shock at his son’s words.
Meghan also commented on the situation, stating that she is deeply upset by the new allegations and that her thoughts are with the children who may have been harmed. She emphasized that distancing herself from her father was necessary to protect her children.
