Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, was arrested in Florida on November 2 and charged with possession of child sexual abuse material after the FBI seized images and videos from storage units in California. The arrest was confirmed on November 6. Earlier, Philippine police said they were cooperating with U. S.
law-enforcement agencies in a parallel investigation into alleged material found at Markle’s home in Cebu. The Philippine interior secretary later named Markle’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr. , as a person of interest, stressing he is not a suspect.
