The Duchess of Sussex has said she knew about allegations against her estranged father in 2018, after it emerged that he was being investigated by police for allegedly possessing child sex abuse images.
Thomas Markle, who lives in the Philippines, is alleged to have an extensive collection of illegal material that was reportedly discovered by Thomas Markle Jr, the Duchess’s half-brother.
In a statement on Friday, the Duchess said: “I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed.
