Mr markle child images?

I always wondered if there was CSA around him because the cut off was so total. However, she did - perhaps with pressure from social media - write to him after him amputation. She has now released a statement that she was made aware in 2018 and thought police were investigating. Questions should be asked about what the Met have been doing since they knew. Others will question and perhaps rightly so, why she was happy to accuse the RF (rightly so) of racisms or unconscious bias but never said a word about what her dad might be doing wrong. Because it didnt affect her? Because he could have been continuing to offend in the last 6 years especially given his locales: Thailand, Philippines, Mexico. A difficult position for her to be in in any case. Kudos to Thomas JR for dobbing him. At the very least, it pushes an investigation and hopefully the truth will come out . However, him accessing the files could compromise the investigation. Hopefully the truth!

I am sure that some of the anti Sussex posters will blame Meghan for her father’s alleged actions .
Cant say that I am surprised about the allegations to be honest .
Karma never misses an address

Unfortunately, she’s getting stick for the information she herself put into the public domain: that she cut off her father for a rather foolish but ultimately pretty harmless pap shoot. It’s not the public’s fault that they weren’t aware of facts she and others suppressed, if that transpires to be the case. Meghan has had absolutely no reason to say a single thing about her father and their relationship (or lack thereof). It’s a wholly private matter, and she chose to invade her own privacy by talking about it via some very high profile, not to mention lucrative, vehicles. Is she told untruths in that process, then that really is on her, not on the public she has asked to believe in her words. Both her own poor judgement and her father’s poor and inexcusable conduct can be true at the same time.

Ah, that’s sad, a lot to deal with for her.
It makes sense now. Very tough for her and the poor children involved. I’d be horrified to hear such news.

OMG what a soap opera her family is.

HAS she known something since 2018? It's certainly a good excuse / reason as to why she's totally blanked her dad despite him being ill etc.

Would it REALLY have taken the police 8 years to address these child abuse allegations? And now only made public because the brother told everyone. Have the police been investigating at all?

Yet another thing that makes little sense. This is a never ending story. And again, it doesn't add up.

Good for Meghan for keeping her distance from her paedophile father, and keeping her kids away from him. Shame others don't follow suit viz a viz Andrew

I was never a fan of Megan, I thought she was a social climbing snob, who snubbed her (incredibly) embarrassing family. Obviously these developments / allegations put a whole new slant on things.

Exactly

Yup. That statement makes no sense to me. This bit :

'In 2018, a letter was sent to the Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection. That letter was subsequently shared with me. It made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father and I was given assurances that these were being investigated."

Because to me, what cops got the letter ? The Met or the Royal Protection? And that leads me to wonder how many letters do the cops get with accusations anyway. Was it just this one, or is it a few per month ? I suspect more to the latter.

And next, I think he was in Mexico at the time. Then he moved to the US I think, then the Philippines. Or did he go direct from Mex to Phill? He had a stroke, had the press camped with him, has now returned to the US, and during all this time the Met was investigating him? The UK, The USA, Mexico and the Philippines are all members of Interpol. And if there were allegations against him, and investigations, for the past 8 years, the other countries would know.

And as you say, there was that stuff about the letter when he was sick last year. That would be 7 years after the letter to the cops with allegations that were being investigated?

What did that investigation say? There would surely be a result after 7 years. Especially if the stuff was in boxes being shipped around the world. And the internet too of course. Because if he had been downloading in that 7 years, or on chat groups, it would have been picked up surely? Especially given all the high profile operations that have been in the news.

She was probably instructed by The Firm not to say anything.

I agree

Shit, I really believed she didn’t know !

All their complaints about the RF pale to insignificance in light of this, so they knew this when they did the Oprah interview and the Netflix series, what a shit show. WTF, complaining about lipgloss and claiming racism when they already knew her father was being accused of being a paedopjile, not even a hint of that in any of their ‘disclosures’.

Gosh, all those kids trafficked and abused and they knew what was going on all this time, I just can’t believe it.

Have to say, the likes of Piers, the DM reporter who befriended TM, and the other guy whose name I can’t remember, must be feeling like they were totally duped.

But Meghan and Harry knew ! Sick.

Yes, indeed very interesting timing. It was the Daily Mail's headline this morning and right underneath that was William's appearance on Graham Norton tonight. Coincidence? I think not.

'Thomas Sr said: 'Tom came to live with me after I had a stroke. I supported him financially. I've supported him financially for most of his life. That money stopped in July this year when a family member found he had been taking money from my account.'

The sister SM said 'My brother first came out with these lies days after the cash from my dad was cut off. He has used dad as a cash cow for years and once the money stopped he made up the most outrageous lies he could to make money from the media.

And no one knows if these allegations are true or not. If what Meghan says is true WHY weren't allegations investigated in 2018? If they were what are the results? It all stinks. as per.

Harry just needs to divorce her and find someone more acceptable to the British people.

Markels = what Winston Churchill would have described as bad blood.

I don't have a narrative thanks. I dont see it any if my business to judge someone on who they dis or didnt attend the wedding and whether or not they were invited. Nor do I sit and speculate on it either when there are a myriad of reasons on why people don't attend weddings.

The little dig about the media was uncessary though, especially as The Sun broke this story. Not saying she should love the tabloids, but using this issue to make a point about something else is unnecessary.

I'm intrigued by what she apparently learnt in 2018 (ironically from the Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection) and what happened to that investigation. Given that there was no arrest or extradition warrant against her father back then, does that mean the investigation found nothing?

At least her statement makes it very clear that she is not making any personal allegations against her father.

Just my personal opinion, but if I was in this situation in addition to saying how these allegations are horrendous, hope any children involved are ok, I would also add something but about how we should wait until the results of the police investigation are made available (if there is one). At present, all we have are a set of accusations.

Meghan's statement just seems to raise many more questions about what she knew and what she's implying, which a well-crafted statement would not do.

If she knew, she should have reported it. But at the moment there is no suggestion she knew

But doesn't her own statement suggest exactly that, @ihopeyourebored, with its assertion that she wished to protect her children from him?

Of course that might have meant protecting them against "general nastiness" rather than this specific thing, but as ever there are inconsistencies and more questions than answers

Not surprised in the slightest . Some of the posters are the self same posters who said that Meghan was evil, wicked, cruel for not allowing her father to see the children . Now it turns out that he is allegedly a paedophile now they are questioning why she wrote to him when his leg was amputated if she was aware of the allegations
The woman can’t win
Her detractors are just pissed off because they can’t use the well worn stick they have beaten her with ‘ look at how she treats her poor , elderly father’.
They all have egg on their faces

Look what happened the last time a royal got together with an America? QE2 could have stopped this, she had the right to veto any royal marriage. She saw what happened when her Uncle got together with a yank, and this is going just as badly.

This surely explains their hasty and unexpected return to the UK this summer?

I would not be surprised if this literature was "planted" to create even more victimisation and deflection.

Who is complicit ?
