Let's not forget Markle Snr hasn't been charged with, let alone convicted of, any crime yet.
From news reports I skimmed over, it's not clear if authorities in the Philippines or the US have even had access to the 'evidence' yet.
According to interviews with his son, Tom Markle Jr., Thomas Markle Sr. holidayed in Thailand for a couple of weeks in the early 1980s while he was married to Meghan Markle's mother, Doria Ragland. He frequently travelled around Southeast Asia as a younger man, visiting Thailand, Burma, and the Philippines.
He has since publicly spoken about his love for that region, praising the culture, beauty, and the respect shown to older people—which ultimately motivated his decision to permanently relocate to the Philippines.
I've always got the impression Thomas Snr spoilt Meghan, which often breeds narcissism and subsequent contempt of parents, in children.
He was invited to her first wedding when she was 30. Why do you think that was?
