Meghan Markle reportedly sent her estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., a letter telling him he would never meet her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. According to Page Six, the letter went further, accusing him of sexually abusing children and stating that authorities were aware of the allegations. It was reportedly sent after Thomas Sr.’s leg was amputated in December 2025 while he was hospitalized in the Philippines.
The backstory is tangled. Meghan says she learned of the alleged activity through a 2019 letter from Thomas Sr.’s ex-wife, Roslyn Loveless, to police. Her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. claims he found child sex abuse material at his father’s home in Cebu City and submitted it to authorities. Thomas Sr. denies everything, calling the allegations“sick lies,”while Samantha Markle says her brother is seeking revenge.
Meghan addressed the distance from her father directly, saying her choice to keep him from her children was“to protect them.”None of the allegations have been proven in court, and this family’s rift has played out publicly for years. Do you think this letter should have stayed private? Sound off below.
