The Duchess of Sussex has issued an emotional statement after yesterday’s troubling reports about her father, Thomas Markle Sr. Meghan’s estranged father is reportedly under investigation for the possession of troubling images of children, according to an exclusive by The Sun on Thursday evening. “Now maybe people will finally understand why she has had nothing to do with her father since 2018,” a source close to Meghan told the Sun after the report broke. Now, she is saying something similar in an official statement: “I hope it can now be understood that, despite certain media publications’ distortion over the years, any distance from my father and my choice to not allow him to have contact with our children was for one reason: to protect them.” She also says that the Metropolitan Police brought her a letter making “disturbing” allegations about her father back in 2018 - but the Met Police say they have never conducted an investigation into Thomas Markle, Sr. in the UK. #royalnews #britishroyalfamily #harryandmeghan #royaltea #meghanmarkle
