Meghan Markle’s estranged dad is being probed over a vast collection of child sex images found by his own son. Thomas Markle Snr, 82, is alleged to have stores the horrific haul at his home in Cebu in the Philippines, where Thomas Jnr found it.

The disgusted son told police he found “hundreds, if not thousands” of child abuse images in four large boxes at his dad’s home. Cops are now reportedly preparing to seize the evidence after Thomas Jnr, Meghan’s half brother, reported their father to local police in the Philippines.

Markle Snr left the Southeast Asian country in May after suffering a stoke and a bloody clot which led to the amputation of his left leg. He is now living in a nursing home in Florida, where he is supported by his daughter.

Thomas Jnr told The Sun after submitting his sworn statement to child abuse police in the Philippines tonight: “When I found this material I was horrified and I had no option but to report my dad.

“I have supported, cared for him and helped him for years — but that stops now.

“I won’t speak to my father ever again unless I’m called to give evidence against him.”

Thomas Jnr uncovered the sickening haul while searching for a phone for his Filipino girlfriend’s father in the boxes of Thomas Snr’s belongings. He told friends he was shocked and disgusted when a sick 15-minute video flashed up on an abandoned LG mobile.
