Meghan Markle says she kept father away from kids to 'protect' them over 'disturbing allegations' against him

Meghan Markle says there's a reason she's kept her children, Archie and Lilibet, away from her father, Thomas Markle Sr.

Thomas Sr. was accused of possessing child sexual abuse material by his son, Thomas Markle Jr., the Duchess of Sussex’s half-brother, according to a report published by The Sun Thursday. 

Thomas Jr. allegedly found the material in Thomas Sr.'s home in Cebu, Philippines, and reported it to police and the FBI.

On Friday, Meghan responded to the allegations in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
