@cbsnews: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, said in a statement sent to CBS News on Friday that she was "deeply distressed" by reports that her father, Thomas Markle, is under investigation by authorities in the Philippines for alleged possession of child abuse materials. Meghan, who recently moved back to Britain with her husband Prince Harry and their children, said she had been aware of allegations against her father since 2018, and that those allegations were shared with U.K. authorities at the time. CBS News has sought comment from the London Metropolitan Police regarding Meghan's statement. Read more in the link in bio. #royals #meghanmarkle

Is everyone forgetting she could be a victim and not realizing the agonizing trauma that this topic likely has to her? Where is humanity??

This is unfortunately very relateable for me… Caught my father watching csa m when I was 19. When I brought it to my mom’s attention, she already knew what he was doing. Had been watching that kind of stuff since I was a baby she said. I had no idea the people who raised me were secretly monsters. 4 years of no contact later, I guess I’m lucky I only found out as an adult. But I’ll mourn who I thought they were for the rest of my life.

the way the british media spun it that she was wrong for breaking contact with her father. and harry has said his family disapproved of cutting him off too. no morals.

The comments all saying she didn’t report it - how do you know she didn’t?! She is very likely a victim herself. People are so cruel. I don’t understand

Meghan may not have been able to speak about it publicly because there was an ongoing investigation, and discussing the allegations could have interfered with it. There were also potential legal risks, like defamation, since nothing had been proven. She may have been advised by lawyers to stay quiet until more information could be made public.

Ummm maybe, just maybe Meghan may not have been able to speak about it publicly because there was an ongoing investigation, and discussing the allegations could have interfered with it. There were also potential legal risks, like defamation, since nothing had been proven. She may have been advised by lawyers to stay quiet, no one knows. This woman could sneeze and y’all would immediately jump down her throat before she had time to say “bless you!” So weird that the first thing is to blame her.

It doesn’t have anything to do with her. She barely has a relationship with him and he only came around fr when she got with Harry
