\u201cThe PNP will coordinate with their counterparts to locate and take appropriate legal actions against Mr Markle if found that there is sufficient evidence to charge him.\u201d<\/p>\n
British tabloid the Sun first reported last week that Markle\u2019s son, Thomas Markle jnr, had discovered the child abuse images while going through boxes found in his father\u2019s former home.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Meghan Markle said she was \u201cdeeply distressed\u201d by accusations her father had possessed images of child abuse, adding she had blocked contact between him and her children over previous \u201ctroubling and disturbing\u201d allegations.<\/p>\n
After the reports, Meghan said that in 2018 she had seen a letter sent to London\u2019s Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection making similar accusations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father, and I was given assurances that these were being investigated,\u201d she said in a statement.<\/p>\n
London\u2019s Metropolitan police said it had passed on the information to the royal couple but did not share it with other law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
The Sun reported on Sunday that Meghan had written a final letter to her father last year, telling him she knows he is an abuser and that he will never meet his grandchildren.<\/p>\n
Meghan and Harry left Britain and quit royal duties in 2020 amid a bitter royal family feud.<\/p>\n
They made an unexpected return with their children to live in the United Kingdom in August.<\/p>\n
