- Police in the Philippines have been granted a warrant to examine digital devices belonging to the Duchess of Sussex’s father, Thomas Markle, over alleged child sex abuse material.
- The items, including digital devices and hard drives, were handed to local officers by Meghan's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr, who claims to have discovered them in their father's former home in Cebu.
- Thomas Markle Sr has strongly denied the accusations as "sick lies", though he admitted to previously paying for sex in the Philippines.
- The Duchess of Sussex was reportedly made aware of the allegations against her father after Scotland Yard shared a letter with her detailing claims of alleged offences outside the UK.
- Under extradition agreements between the US and the Philippines, Mr Markle Sr could face up to 12 years in prison if charged and found guilty.
