Story summary

Thomas Markle Sr., the estranged father of Meghan Markle, was arrested on November 4, 2026, in Florida for allegedly possessing child sexual abuse material. The arrest came after his son, Thomas Jr., reported finding such images among his belongings in the Philippines earlier this year. Markle Sr., who is now 82 years old, had recently returned to the U.S. following a stroke and amputation of his left leg.

Markle was initially released on an ankle monitor but cut it off days later, leading to his return to jail on November 10, 2026. He had previously moved into a dementia care home in Florida after being diagnosed with the condition, which could complicate legal proceedings against him. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are now seeking to revoke his release pending trial.

Meghan Markle, who married Prince Harry at Windsor Castle in 2018, has maintained distance from her father due to these allegations, stating that it was done to protect their children.
