Meghan Markle’s estranged dad said he needed a “fresh start” somewhere “peaceful” before transferring across the world to the Philippines — where he allegedly hoarded disturbing little one pornography.

Thomas Markle Sr. informed the Daily Mail in January 2025 that he was transferring abroad from his cliffside property in Rosarito, Mexico, to escape the “awful drama” associated to his daughter, the Duchess of Sussex.

More than a 12 months later, Markle Sr. is under investigation for allegedly hiding a trove of sickening little one intercourse abuse pictures in his Philippines refuge, The Sun reported.

“I am ready for a change,” he informed the outlet at the time. “I have felt stuck in a rut for some time, and I am ready to meet new people and experience kindness.”

He added that he needed to stay in a more “peaceful” setting to keep away from the “awful drama of recent years.”

Markle Sr. has been estranged from his daughter since shortly before her Windsor Castle marriage ceremony to Prince Harry. He has yet to meet his son-in-law or his grandchildren, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

Thomas Markle Jr., the son of the retired lighting director, was “horrified” after stumbling upon the droves of little one pornography in his dad’s residence in Cebu, The Sun reported.

Markle Jr. contacted native police about the sickening discover, and the Philippine authorities’s Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking has reportedly created a process power to examine the case.

The FBI is also poised to launch a probe into Markle Sr., who has been residing in a rehabilitation facility in Florida, the outlet reported.

The FBI has not responded to The Post’s request for remark.
