Meghan Markle reportedly wanted to speak publicly about allegations against her father, Thomas Markle, in 2019 but was advised by a royal protection officer to remain silent.
According to The Sunday Times, Meghan was assured that police would investigate the allegations.

Now, questions are mounting about why the information was never shared with overseas law enforcement agencies.

Meanwhile, Mexican authorities have searched a storage unit formerly rented by Thomas Markle after Daily Mail reporters reported discovering suspected child sexual abuse material. Investigators reportedly seized computers and other items, while a separate investigation continues in the Philippines. Thomas Markle denies wrongdoing.

The Sunday Times also reports that senior palace aides and police officials were unaware of the original allegations. Royal commentators suggest Buckingham Palace was blindsided by the revelations and may continue distancing itself from the Sussexes.
Elsewhere, King Charles provides some lighter royal news during his Caribbean tour. The King dances at a Bahamian Junkanoo celebration, visits a boxing academy, jokes about living long enough to see a newly planted shrub grow, and gets thoroughly soaked during a military parade in Antigua.

Meghan Markle's reported role on Junior MasterChef Australia is generating controversy, with a petition demanding her removal attracting more than 2,400 signatures.

Australian residents have offered mixed reactions to the proposed appointment, while Victoria's major political parties say taxpayers should not cover Meghan's security costs during filming.

THE 2019 LETTER, THE MET’S REVIEW, AND A KING ON A TIGHTROPE: THE WEEK THE PERFORMANCE STOPPED

The Metropolitan Police has confirmed it received a letter in 2019 containing a number of claims about alleged offending outside the UK relating to Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle Sr., shared it with the Sussexes, and did not pass it to any other law enforcement agency. The force is reviewing its handling and weighing a referral to the police watchdog; it is not itself investigating him. Authorities in the Philippines are. He denies everything and has not been charged. Mark Francis handles it briefly and carefully — and then turns to the King’s nine-day Caribbean tour into the reparations question, William on Graham Norton, and the Duchy tenants who say they’ve been given six months to buy or leave.

It's another round of “Kate Is Wonderful” coverage, beginning with HELLO!'s praise for the Princess of Wales and her supposedly perfect royal curtsy during the Sultan of Oman's state visit.
But behind the compliments lies a bigger question: How much should the Royal Family try to appear ordinary?

Royal historians explain why William and Catherine's domestic anecdotes, Camilla's descriptions of quiet evenings with King Charles and carefully shared family moments are part of a centuries-old balancing act between relatability and royal mystique.

Kate's yellow state banquet gown also receives a glowing technical assessment from designer Amanda Wakeley, who explains the challenges of creating a dress suitable for a major royal occasion.

Meanwhile, Prince William is reportedly preparing significant changes for his eventual reign. The Prince of Wales has said he wants to question established traditions and make the monarchy more relevant, while insiders suggest he has little patience for doing things simply because they've always been done that way.

And royal author Robert Jobson reveals how Carole Middleton became an important source of emotional and practical support for William during Catherine's health challenges. According to Jobson, Carole helped care for George, Charlotte and Louis, kept the family's freezer stocked and even took William to the pub when he needed someone to talk to.

King Charles has acknowledged the suffering caused by the transatlantic slave trade during his visit to the Bahamas, telling young people that some of the country's most joyful traditions emerged from a painful history.

But protesters are demanding reparations, and the King faces growing pressure to apologize for
Britain's involvement in slavery ahead of next week's Commonwealth summit.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is pushing back against accusations that he deliberately overshadows major royal events. Sources close to the Sussexes say Harry and Meghan have cleared their public schedules during Charles's Caribbean tour to avoid competing for attention.

In an unexpected coincidence, King Charles's Highgrove shop and Meghan Markle's As Ever brand launched new crockery collections on the same day, adding another chapter to comparisons between the royal households.

New questions are emerging about how Scotland Yard handled allegations against Meghan Markle's estranged father, Thomas Markle.

Crown and Controversy: Kate Middleton

The investigation involving Meghan Markle's estranged father, Thomas Markle, has taken another turn after the Metropolitan Police confirmed receiving a letter containing allegations against him in January 2019 but failing to share those details with other law enforcement agencies.

The letter was reportedly written by Thomas Markle's late first wife, Roslyn Loveless. Scotland Yard is now reviewing how the correspondence was handled, while Meghan's representatives have clarified her earlier statement that she learned of the allegations in 2018.

Meanwhile, Thomas Markle Jr. claims he discovered child sexual abuse material among his father's belongings in the Philippines. The FBI has acknowledged awareness of the allegations, and Philippine authorities are conducting an investigation.

Thomas Markle Sr. denies wrongdoing, claims any illegal material was planted and says he is willing to cooperate with investigators. He has not been charged.
The family is deeply divided. Thomas Jr. has apologized to Meghan for previously defending their father, while Samantha Markle alleges her brother's accusations followed a financial dispute.

Reports also claim Meghan privately wrote to her father last December, telling him he would never meet Archie and Lilibet.

The Times and Express offer sharply different interpretations of Meghan's response, Saturday Night Live UK has drawn attention for jokes about the allegations, and questions are emerging about whether Buckingham Palace will further distance itself from the Sussexes.
