Meghan Markle’s estranged father Thomas has been arrested by the FBI over his alleged stash of child sex abuse images.
More than a dozen agents swooped on the care home where he lives in Tampa, Florida.
He was take away in cuffs before being led into a waiting ambulance, it was reported.
The bombshell arrest comes after it emerged Markle, 82, was being probed by cops in the Philippines after son Thomas Jnr handed over child sex abuse images he found in amongst family mementos.
Markle was arrested for possession of child sexual abuse material, sources told the Daily Mail.
The outlet had previously discovered cache of child porn inside a storage unit he had rented near his former home in Rosarito, Mexico, which they reported to Federal investigators in the US.
And police in the Philippines are also said to be ‘very close’ to bringing formal charges against Markle after child abuse images were allegedly found at his former home there last month in a separate investigation.
Wheelchair-bound Markle has been living in Florida since he returned to the US earlier this year following years of living abroad.
He moved into a $3,900 per month specialist dementia care home last Friday, where he was sensationally arrested.
His claims of dementia were only raised after the explosive allegations against him were reported in the press.
