Police Confirm Meghan Markle Received Letter Accusing Dad of Abuse
She added, “I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed. Although the breadth of what has now been uncovered is more sickening than one could ever imagine, my sincerest hope is that justice will be fully served and that the priority remains the safety and protection of innocent children.”
The letter, based on to The Sun, included accusations that Thomas Sr. had allegedly admitted to sexually abusing a minor. Police later confirmed to The Sunthat the letter was received in January 2019 and subsequently shared with Meghan.
“The details of the allegations in the letter were not shared with other law enforcement agencies,” a police spokesperson said in a statement.
Samantha Markle Defends Dad Thomas Markle Against the Claims
Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, pushed back on the allegations against their father. In an October 2026 interview with the Daily Mail, Samantha accused her brother of inventing the story after a financial arrangement with Thomas Sr. came to an end.
“There is no merit in these disgusting allegations whatsoever and my brother is disgusting for making them up,” Samantha claimed. “He wants to destroy our dad. Shame on him. My brother first came out with these lies a few weeks ago when the cash from my dad was cut off. He has used dad as a cash cow for years and once the money stopped he made up the most outrageous lies he could to try and make money from the media.”
Samantha also raised questions about the chain of custody of the devices in question. “There is no proof my dad downloaded any images. Those computers were out of his possession for two years. That leaves a lot of room for tampering,” she alleged. “Dad was in a rehabilitation facility and did not have access to those computers.”

Thomas Sr. also denied the allegations.
“I’m shocked, I’m hurt and I’m very upset that my son is making these accusations against me,” he told the Daily Mail in October 2026, slamming the “sick lies.”
He continued, “I could never do what I’m being accused of. It’s the worst thing anyone could accuse me of. This is bulls***. It’s just a bunch of lies. It’s sick. I have no idea why Tom is trying to destroy me with these lies.”
