Thomas Markle: How The Grubbiest Royal Scandal in History Unfolded

This episode discusses allegations involving child sexual abuse, which some listeners may find distressing.

Last week, police in the Philippines confirmed they are investigating Thomas Markle Sr, the 82-year-old father of the Duchess of Sussex, over allegations he possessed child sexual abuse material. He strenuously denies the allegations.

On this episode of Deep Dive, Senior Features Writer Guy Adams joins host Chris Pleasance to unpick what exactly police are investigating, what Scotland Yard did, and didn’t do, with an accusatory letter about Mr Markle it received in 2019, and who’s who among Meghan’s estranged family.
