Summary
Allegations against Thomas Markle Sr., Meghan Markle's father, have surfaced, claiming he is involved in child exploitation and is under criminal investigation. These claims, made by his son Thomas Markle Jr., suggest that Thomas Sr. hoarded child pornography in the Philippines. The situation has raised significant questions about the responsibility of Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, who reportedly received information about these allegations as early as January 2019 but did not publicly address them until now.
The discussion surrounding the allegations has sparked a debate about accountability. Critics argue that Meghan and Harry, who have often spoken out against the royal family and the media, should have taken action to inform authorities or the royal family about the serious nature of the claims against Thomas Sr. Some panelists express sympathy for Meghan, noting the emotional turmoil of discovering such allegations against a parent, while others emphasize the need for transparency regarding what actions were taken—or not taken—by the Sussexes in response to the information they received.
The conversation also touches on the broader implications of these allegations for the Sussexes' narrative about their struggles with the royal family and the media. As the situation develops, many are calling for clarity on the timeline of events and the actions taken by both Meghan and Harry, as well as law enforcement agencies, regarding the allegations against Thomas Markle Sr. The public awaits further details that may shed light on this complex and troubling family dynamic.
Show Notes
Piers Morgan examines the serious allegations made by Thomas Markle Jr regarding his father, Thomas Markle Sr, which are now the subject of a criminal investigation.
For Meghan Markle, finding out your own father could be a child abuser must be gut-wrenching beyond comparison. But questions must be asked, about why allegations against Thomas Senior were first made in 2019 by his ex-wife Roslyn, who wrote directly to London’s Met Police. They shared this letter with Harry and Meghan but they did not share it with authorities in Mexico, where Thomas Senior was living, or in the US where he remains a citizen. And it wasn’t until six years later, when Meghan wrote to her father to break off all contact and announce that he would never meet his grandchildren. Meghan says she told her father that she knew he’d abused young girls and that authorities were aware.Above all, did anybody involved - and this applies chiefly to law enforcement at every level - allow a suspected child abuser to remain free to offend?
The situation demands full transparency - not a murky soap opera which plays out only in the press.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest point of either presidency, with barely 31 per cent of Americans believing he is doing a good job. With the US midterm elections just 13 days away, the president is facing mounting political pressure as wars in Ukraine and Iran threaten to define his administration.

But his diplomatic mission has raised eyebrows after Witkoff publicly praised Putin as a humanitarian, while Trump has once again placed the burden of ending the Ukraine war on Zelensky rather than the Russian leader who launched it. Meanwhile, Trump is blaming Ukraine for the cost of American support, as voters grow increasingly frustrated with high fuel prices and continued conflict. Yet the pressure on energy prices is also tied to the war involving Iran, where renewed US attacks on Tehran could follow the midterm elections. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised Trump’s leadership and declared that the two countries have a job to finish, fuelling concerns that the conflict could soon escalate again. As Trump attempts to contain the political fallout from two major wars, a fragile end to the fighting in Ukraine may be approaching. But the conflict with Iran could be entering a far more dangerous phase. Piers Morgan is joined by Alastair Campbell plus Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute; Jim Hanson, chief strategist at the Middle East Forum; and Will Chamberlain, host of Counterweight. Plus, General Keith Kellogg, former US special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, joins the show to discuss the prospects for peace in Ukraine and the growing threat of renewed conflict with Iran.
The relationship between Washington and Kyiv is entering increasingly uncertain territory, as Donald Trump’s approach to Russia raises fresh questions about the future of the war in Ukraine. In an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan last week, President Zelensky offered a stark assessment of America’s shifting position, warning that his country risks losing the support of its most important ally.
The Western world is facing a period of unprecedented upheaval, as old alliances fracture, political divisions deepen and conflict continues to reshape the global order. From President Donald Trump’s shifting approach to Russia and Ukraine to growing unrest in France, the familiar rules of international politics appear to be breaking down.
