Meghan Markle’s estranged dad allegedly hid a secret stockpile of child porn among family mementos in his Philippines home, according to his son, who claims to have stumbled across the sickening stash.
Thomas Markle Sr.’s alleged trove of filth – which included “hundreds if not thousands” of vile snaps – was reported to the authorities by his son, Thomas Markle Jr., in July, The Sun reported on Thursday.
Markle Jr. told authorities that the images were chillingly hidden among family mementos in four boxes at his dad’s home in Cebu in July.
“There was an unbelievable amount of stuff — old family home movies on VHS cassettes, books, nine mobile phones, along with the Emmy Awards he won for his TV work,” Markle Jr. also revealed to a pal, according to The Sun.
“But there were also many more worrying items which I’d never seen before — old books that turned out to be full of naked little girls.”
An image of a child allegedly involved in a sex act was stuffed among the pages of an antique book entitled “Lewis Carroll Photographs Of Children: Four Nude Studies,” the UK outlet reported.
The Duchess’ half-brother had been searching for a phone when he claimed he uncovered a 15-minute video of child pornography on an LG mobile phone.
Children no older than age 10 or 11 were allegedly captured on the video.
There were also three images of naked and scantily-clad girls of about the same age on the device, according to The Sun.
One of the alleged images was a photo taken of the screen of a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop in a room Markle Jr. said he recognized from his dad’s ex-home in Rosarito, Mexico.
Markle Jr., 60, said he was a “shaking wreck” as he realized what he had stumbled upon before reporting the alleged discovery to the FBI hotline and state police in Pennsylvania — where Markle Snr., 82, was living at the time.
Thomas Markle Sr. had vacated his Filipino home in May and returned to the US following his December 2025 leg amputation.

Meghan Markle said Friday she’s “deeply disturbed” by the allegations leveled against her dad — while also revealing that a complaint was made eight years ago, explaining why she cut him off from her family.
“I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed,” Markle told The Post in a statement.
“In 2018, a letter was sent to [London’s] Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection. That letter was subsequently shared with me. “It made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father and I was given assurances that these were being investigated.
“I hope it can now be understood that, despite certain media publications’ distortion over the years, any distance from my father and my choice to not allow him to have contact with our children was for one reason: to protect them.
“I trusted that the authorities were doing the same for other families.
“Although the breadth of what has now been uncovered is more sickening than one could ever imagine, my sincerest hope is that justice will be fully served and that the priority remains the safety and protection of innocent children.”
Markle did not reveal whether the letter was sent prior to her glitzy May 19, 2018, Windsor nuptials to Prince Harry, nor did she reveal who sent it to British cops.
