Meghan Markle's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr, has broken his silence after dad rejects allegations of child pornography possession.

Earlier this week, The Sun reported that Thomas, 60, alerted the authorities after allegedly discovering "hundreds, if not thousands" of child pornographic images at Thomas Markle Sr's home in Cebu, Philippines.

Thomas Markle Sr denies allegations

On Friday, October 23, the 82-year-old, who is currently in a rehab centre in Florida, denied the allegations while speaking to The Daily Mail.

Now, speaking again with The Sun, Thomas Jr described his father's denial as "incredible", as he added, "I'm sure the huge pile of evidence I've taken to the police today will reveal the truth once the police experts examine it."

"If that vile filth dating back 40 or even 50 years isn't his, then who put it there, where would they have got it and why would they have done it?"

What did Thomas Markle Jr allegedly find in his father's house?

The alleged images included videos of girls, who are said to be younger than 11, engaged in sexual acts and three photos of naked girls, one of which appeared to have been taken at Thomas Sr's former home in Rosarito, Mexico.

Meghan Markle speaks out on allegations

Reacting to the shocking allegation, Meghan said she was "deeply distressed" by the allegations against her estranged father earlier this week.

"My thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed," she said in the statement to PEOPLE.


The Duchess of Sussex mentioned that she received a letter sent to the MET and Royalty and Specialist Protection in 2018, which included "troubling and disturbing allegations against my father, and I was given assurances that these were being investigated".

"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," said Meghan.
