What Piers Morgan said about the 2019 allegations involving Thomas Markle Sr.
Piers Morgan quoted the Daily Mail’s report on Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle Sr.’s case. The outlet shared that a close friend of Markle told The Sun about the Duchess’s thoughts on the case. “It is her sincerest hope that a full and thorough investigation will now help deliver justice for the victims,” the friend said. Morgan quoted the Daily Mail’s report on Markle’s demand. “The time for a thorough investigation was in 2019 when the allegations were first made to police by his ex-wife,” he wrote on X.
In a statement released in October, Markle reacted to the news of her father’s arrest. “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,” she said.
The statement continued, “In 2018, a letter was sent to the Metropolitan police and Royalty and Specialist Protection [Rasp]. That letter was subsequently shared with me.” Markle continued, “It made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father and I was given assurances that these were being investigated.”
The royal further added that she hopes now her decision to maintain distance from her father will be understood. Markle shared that she intended to protect her children by not having her father contact them. For the unaware, Markle received backlash for her estranged relationship with Markle Sr.
“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 statement concluded.
