The Duchess of Sussex issued a statement on Friday morning, about 12 hours after the Sun’s initial reporting on Thomas Markle’s depravity. Meghan stated clearly and on the record that she was informed about a letter sent to the Met Police in 2018, a letter detailing some of her father’s horrifying behavior. The Met spent most of Friday releasing contradictory statements and information about this, but the Sun backed up Meghan’s story, confirming that a private individual *did* write a letter to the Met’s Fixated Threat Assessment Centre, basically in an effort to alert Meghan’s royal protection unit that Thomas Markle was a huge threat.
A letter sent to Met Police in 2018 warning them that Thomas Markle Snr was a child abuser DOES exist, The Sun can reveal. Meghan yesterday claimed she cut off all ties with her father after the letter was passed to her soon after her wedding to Harry. However, the Met Police said on Friday they were unable to confirm whether any letter had ever been shared with her. But The Sun has seen a copy of the bombshell letter sent to a specialist Met protection unit.
It is clearly addressed to the Met’s Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC), which deals with risks posed by obsessives to the Royal Family and VIPs. The letter – which it’s understood has now been shared with police – alleges that Mr Markle had sexually abused a child. The author also claimed in the letter that Mr Markle had admitted going to the Philippines and Thailand to abuse children.
After the Sun backed up Meghan’s statement and confirmed the existence of a letter (and an official police warning to Meghan), the Met police suddenly remembered the letter as well. They corrected the timeline though – apparently, the letter was sent in January 2019, with FTAC informing Meghan of the contents of the letter around the same time. That timeline makes SO much more sense – months after the wedding, and months after Meghan sent her horrible father her own handwritten “I’m done with you” letter (which Thomas would later give to the Mail). Like, Meghan had already cut off contact with Thomas Markle months before someone sent that letter in January 2019. Meghan’s spox told media outlets that (basically) she was wrong about the timeline and yeah, it happened in early 2019. When she was pregnant and being smeared by the Windsors and she wanted to end her life. Part of what her spokesperson’s statement said:
“In recalling events from more than seven years ago, without the benefit of a diary entry or contemporaneous record, it is understandable that she may have been mistaken by a few months. If the MPS holds a time-stamped record confirming that the letter was reviewed in 2019, that should be treated as the accurate reference point for when it was received and shared with the Duchess.”
So now we have more clarity on the timeline and chronology of the accusations. Throughout 2018, Meghan just believed her horrible father was selling her out and badgering her through incessant British television appearances. She was trying to manage what she believed was a PR debacle. It wasn’t until January 2019 that she became aware of just how sinister everything was.
There’s another problem. It turns out that after informing Meghan of the letter and the accusations therein, the police simply did nothing. They admitted on Saturday that they did not pass on the letter or the claims to law enforcement in Mexico or the US. A Met Police spox said: “The letter was reviewed and a decision was made that it should be passed to the office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their awareness. The details of the allegations in the letter were not shared with other law enforcement agencies. The MPS is reviewing the handling of this matter in 2019 and considering whether a referral to the IOPC is necessary to review our approach.” It just feels like law enforcement doesn’t care about child abuse anywhere.

Starting to understand why Chuck nicknamed Meghan “Tungsten” — my God, she’s a tough one! How she managed to get through those years is beyond me. She’s amazing.
She almost didn’t get through those years.
I know. Utterly miraculous that she made it through.
I don’t see that nickname as a term of endearment from Charles. I think it was allegedly said because Meghan withstood every trick and smear that they threw at her. It was probably said in frustration rather than admiration.
THE LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY THOMAS SENIOR EX WIFE.
What horrible day . I feel for meghan and what she has to witness. My thoughts and prayer are with the victims and I hope they heal from this horrific trauma.
This the timeline read so far
1. After meghan wedding, around late 2018 to jan 2019 someone signed with their name send a letter to meghan about her father and told her that he is p£do which dates back to 50 plus years even before meghan was born.
2. That the time both meghan and Wales share the same office and they split only in March of 2019 and before that jason is their go to buddy. He must have seen those letter and so does William ,chuck and late queen.
3. This adds sinister layer because courtiers who often leaked to press for money , must have definitely leaked this. The press must have known atleast some of them. Now if that’s the case , I think press especially William and his buddy like tom skyes and eden could leaked it , if meghan ever contacted her father . That’s why that vile reporter was being with Thomas sr to catch meghan and have big scoop how meghan was enabling p3do and putting poor Wales kids in danger. (LETS Remeber WALES TOOK THEIR KIDS WITH ANDREW TO Church AND GOT PHOTOGRAPHER AFTER HE WAS ACCUSED).
Now on to my real theory no facts.
4. Before meghan was married , many outlets like the sun and dailymail were using private investigator. I don’t how they miss this ?
5. I always wonder there was no scoop regarding thomas and his days in hollywood. If he was racist and difficult , hollywood will definitely outed him because rumor in that town spread way faster for being difficult to work with . But being p£do and cp is very hush hush and brushed under the rug.
6. Plus question about how Thomas sr able to get away for 5 decades ? Because even Epstein was watched by feds for a very long time. I sure Thomas is nobody , surely some victim must outed him or tell feds. He was unchecked for this longtime , I think only he was doing it and he must have big time buyer in hollywood for him to protected this long.
7. Remeber one of the victim wrote the letter to meghan instead of going to feds . Because I belive Thomas must have some powerhouse hollywood backing. I mean virgina took down andrew , thomas sr is nobody . The poor victim must have seen or heard other powerful name mentioned to shut her mouth and not to tell the feds. She must have feared for her life. Plus no other usa network ever give him any air time . They must have know because of hollywood and even well connected tmz in hollywood must know . No one have any idea about this horrific crime for five decades is unbelievable . Because Thomas sr is dumb as rock and able to get away this long ? Nah . Even in metoo he doesn’t get outed at all . No scoop even as jane doe .
8. How Thomas was doing this for longtime and going to SEA flight alone is very expensive and he was living in very nice apartment. Now after his leg drama and moved to back usa and he couldn’t do whatever he was told to do or produce . That buyer must be pissed because of his access is cut short.
9. I belive whoever that buyer must be very powerful studio head in hollywood because of its actor , they got easily outed by daily or the sun. If it’s studio ,they must have hard time proving.
10. Now I think that buyer used Thomas Jr to out his father as punishment for access cut. Because Thomas Jr words is very coherent and rehearsed. His words doesn’t sound like him at all and someone is putting words on his mouth. Let’s remember how british media coached Thomas sr. Plus I don’t believe thomas jr magically discovering this and he is living with his father for four years. He outed him because he was angry that he moved to usa and he couldn’t make any money from that horrific act.
11. Plus Thomas sr was constantly travelling to SEA for five decades which is very expensive back and forth. He is not making that much money . My opinion is he was funded from some powerful in hollywood for those horrific act. Let’s remember squid game where they abuse people while watching poor kill eachother for money. Most hollywood is degenerate creatures who runs that town. They definitely use someone like Thomas sr as their mule to keep their hands clean.
12. Thomas sr is horrible and sick mule , I don’t belive he is master minded enough to get away for five decades without ever being on feds watchlist . Plus I don’t belive whomsoever powerful behind will be outed because pe£o in chief must be their buddy. Remeber it’s white men protect eachother.
13. Again Thomas was willing mule for their horrific act and he does with his conscious. I also think that’s why brf doesn’t want to bring any attention because if that powerful men behind Thomas sr could be one of Andrews buddy ?
14. I don’t believe for the second that vile woman ( caroline something )who was living with Thomas sr doesn’t know anything because as woman we have natural curiosity. It’s one to fool his daughter and his ex wife , but vicious racist white woman dailymail journalist? I don’t believe this that vile woman doesn’t know anything .
15. Why Jason and William didn’t leak this even after dailymail humiliation lost to meghna case ?
As for idiots screaming about how meghan must outed him via public ?? Where were you when kate middleton uncle harrassed a mother and teenage girl for threesome ? Where are you when Beatrice stand by her father during interview and till this day never ever opened her mouth ? Where were you when Pippa middleton father in law ra£ed minor.
I know this blog never covered it there was very worst picture of andrew with little son and till this day entire brf stand by him and his sister and brother and nephew worried his mental health.
I haven’t read anywhere that Meghan received a letter directly from anyone, first wife or victim – only that the police received the letter from the first wife and then showed to Meghan.
That’s what I’ve seen reported too, the letter was sent to the Met, not to Meghan and hey subsequently shared it with her.
Meghan herself says the letter was sent to the Met and they shared it with her. So far there is no indication that Meghan received any type of direct communication regarding these allegations.
And theres a lot in that post to unpack, but the other part I’ll respond to is why wasn’t this reported before and the idea that tom must have powerful hollywood backing – yeah, unfortunately, likely not. People (usually men but not always) get away with these crimes every day without anyone turning them in or reporting them, or not being believed if they do report them. Tom Markle getting away with this for so long is the least surprising thing about this.
Are we gonna pretend that the royal family didn’t know? And the papers? And they still kept on pressing her to go see him or accusing her of abandoning him, multiple insults day and night and even blaming her. I wouldn’t be suprised if they told her they’ll investigate and the royal family asked them to trash it, it’s also possible they were holding it over TM’s head and making him go online to abuse her.
Meghan and Harry’s marriage was never supposed to happen. It’s definitely a race thing as the royal family is the ultimate symbol of white supremacy. They will continue to drive her to the wall until something bad happens and will employ all things at their arsenal which I was I was so angry that Harry brought her back to the UK and he keeps giving interviews talking about reconciliation, it’s like he can’t see it, they want to k••• her and he still thinks it’s a joke.
Yes, if Scotland Yard informed Meghan for safety reasons, I can’t imagine that they didn’t also inform someone in QEII’s staff.
Honestly, if they DIDNT tell anyone in the royal family, that’s also a problem. Why wouldn’t they alert someone on charles or QEII’s staff that this letter was received, it could be a potential security problem, legal problem or PR problem, and they needed to be aware? I feel like Meghan at the very least would have made someone aware if the Met did not.
I read it was his first wife (mother of Scamantha & Tom Jr) who sent the letter to the Metropolitan Police.
Apparently it was his first wife who sent the letter thou she has neither confirmed or denied this – the Sun also said that they’ve seen a photograph showing Bad Dad having sex with a VERY young looking female.
Also, he had multiple computers and hard drives – it begs the questions of WHY and WHAT he was doing with all those computers.
He’s also admitted, to the Fail, that he went to Philippines and Thailand to pay for sex.
Thomas Markle’s first wife, Roslyn Loveless, can’t confirm or deny anything, she is dead.
She gave an interview years ago to the Sun claiming he was a horrible father and husband, cheating on her and bragging about his trips to Thailand for sex with prostitutes. Back then she didn’t accuse him of abusing or raping children. Very likely she did tell the Sun, but they didn’t print it because there was no evidence.
The MET police or Palace security told Meghan there is an active investigation. She had no evidence either, just the letter. Which must have been known by senior aides to the Queen, and Charles. No one did something. MET police filed the letter (in German we say “Ablage P, meaning file it under paper bin).
There was nothing for Meghan to do but go no contact with her father and hope that the authorities in Mexico and Thailand investigate.
Ah I did not know his first wife had passed 🙁
Dear god, its getting worse. Caroline Graham has now just published a story in the Fail with a VIDEO showing the moment Sr was shown the letter from Meghan where she confronts him and says he will never see her children. The Fail has created a new bottom in hell.
She also says that he’s been diagnosed with dementia.
I was wondering when Caroline Graham would come out of hiding with her exclusive and to justify her role in this. They are now playing the dementia card. Do not get me wrong dementia is a horrible illness but it does not justify anything.
@Digital unicorn does Caroline Graham disclose the content of Meghan’s letter?
Yeah, the first wife passed away in 2024.
Damn it, Britain, the ‘Sceptic Isle’ for real.
Wow. So, this is definitely much stranger and concerning than I originally thought. I’ve seen it reported that it was Markle’s first wife who sent the letter, but I don’t know if that has been confirmed. I will say that it really is very, very odd that she would have sent this letter to the Met and not the FBI. The Met has no jurisdiction over Markle or any of these crimes. It’s just a very strange thing for her to have done.
That the Met would have considered this worth sharing with Meghan but not other law enforcement is shocking. Truly shocking. Either you assess that it’s a crank letter (of which I’m sure they get many) and you wouldn’t bring it to Meghan or it’s credible enough that it should have triggered communication to US authorities (or Mexican or the Philippines). It is possible that, depending on how old these accusations were, there was a statute of limitation issue. Many statute of limitations for sex crimes have been removed, but this is a fairly recent trend and this wouldn’t apply retroactively.
This is horrifying and must be so so upsetting for Meghan. The Met should definitely report itself. Just very strange behavior all around.
Not only does the Met not care about child abuse, they probably did nothing to protect the Royal Family. The Royal Family’s role in this situation needs to be discussed.
The whistleblower letter was sent in late 2018 but not shared with Meghan until January 2019, so it seems both dates are correct. Perhaps she was referencing when she noticed the date the letter was written.
Meghan was pregnant with Archie when she read this letter and I can’t imagine anything worse. They were already estranged but to find this out from his first wife! She must have wondered if she ever really knew her own father? She must have gone over everything that she believed about him was anything true?. He has already betrayed and let her down publicly by blabbing for coin to the press but then this? Such depravity and child abuse is unforgivable. She was pregnant and needed to protect herself, her unborn son . She had every right to totally remain out of his reach forever and absolutely believed he was going to be investigated by law enforcement.
As I pointed out on Friday, this was the exact time that Meghan was going through a mental health crisis with suicidal ideation. How much did this information contribute to her mental health issues or even trigger them, given the isolation she was experiencing?
My heartbreaks for all the victims and it is looking like they’re many of them and Sr was abusing children for decades, but I also feel so bad for Meghan having to deal with all of this while being pregnant with her first child. The MET and the RPO division need to answer why they didn’t inform the appropriate authorities because from what I can see when it comes to sexual abuse especially involving children they choose to protect the abuser every single time. Sr and the pedo Prince both need to be held accountable for their actions they deserve to share a cell for the rest of their lives imo.
So the Met police told no one. Didn’t forward the letter to US authorities. The same police is still doing nothing about Andrew. But the biggest story is Meghan misremembering couple of months almost a decade ago. It’s sickening.
The people at fault here are tom Markle (obviously), the Met, and possibly someone in the royal family, depending on who knew about this letter.
As @LadyE says above, the Met must have found something credible about this letter to show it to Meghan. She doesn’t get shown every crackpot letter someone receives about her or her family. So something about it (the source, the specific allegations, SOMETHING) was enough to warrant showing it to Meghan. so then they did nothing with it? They just said “oh this could be bad, oh well, lets put it in this drawer over here for years and hope nothing bad happens.”
If they did show it to Meghan, presumably other people in the royal households knew – and they continued to platform Tom markle through the press. If anyone in the press knew and they continued to interview him…. I mean this whole situation stinks to high heaven and for anyone who wonders why victims dont report their abuse, this is why. The powerful are invested in silencing these investigations.
It’s intriguing that not many media outlets are reporting that the 2018/19 letter sent to the Met Police was sent by the late Roslyn Loveless, Markle Sr’s first wife.
She had made public statements around the time of Meghan’s wedding and Archie’s birth warning that Markle Sr was a child abuser, and that Archie should never be exposed to him.
The media didn’t give her the time of day, preferring to platform Tom Markle Sr instead. And boy, did they platform him. How come such little attention was paid to what Roslyn was saying? How come no GoFundMe’s were set up for her? When exactly did she die, and what did she even die of?
In this entire story from the pov of the British/right wing media and parts of the public there is a clear hierarchy:
1. white male – Thomas Sr
2. white female – Roslyn Loveless
3. a whole load of other ethnicities
4. black/of colour male
5. black/of colour female – Meghan
