Met Police should have alerted the FBI to child abuse claims against Thomas Markle seven years ago, says ex-police chief
Meghan Markle with her father Thomas Markle Sr. Meghan reportedly arranged for hospital staff in Cebu to hand him the letter just after his leg was amputated, having him sign a form confirming receipt.Kitebrook School in the Cotswolds, named as the prep school attended by Archie and Lilibet, as the Met weighs whether to refer itself to the police watchdog over its handling of claims against Thomas Markle Sr.
Jim Gamble, formerly head of the National Crime Agency's child exploitation command, has cautioned that children may have 'continued to suffer abuse' for seven years. Scotland Yard received a 2019 letter, passed it to Meghan without alerting any other agency, and is now reviewing how it handled the matter. Philippine minister Jonvic Remulla anticipates forensic results within a week. Markle, 82, denies wrongdoing.
The 2019 letter is understood to have originated with Roslyn Loveless, Markle's late first wife.
Writing to her father while he was in hospital, Meghan told him he would never see Archie and Lilibet.
Half-brother Thomas Markle Jr says he found 'hundreds, if not thousands' of images in Cebu.
