Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not address Thomas Markle Sr.’s arrest for possession of child pornography.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will remain silent on the arrest, Page Six can exclusively confirm. The incarceration comes just days before they’re set to take off on first overseas trip on Nov. 10.
When contacted by Page Six, a rep for Meghan, 45, and Harry, 42, responded, “no comment.”
Federal agents arrested Thomas Sr., 82, at the Maravida Senior Living care home in Lakeland, Florida Friday, sources confirmed to The Post.
He is set to appear in Florida court this afternoon.
According to the federal criminal complaint obtained by Page Six, “The FBI received reports from different witnesses regarding Markle.”
FBI agents searched two storage units in the Los Angeles area on Oct. 30 and Nov. 4.
Authorities seized 78 items, including material suspected of containing child sexual abuse material. The material includes slides, film negatives and books “that contain suspected child pornography.”
The complaint claims Markle appears in two of the images alongside an underage girl. The filing claims a witness identified him as the adult in the photographs.
In a FBI press release, First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli said, “Mr. Markle is accused of possessing child sexual abuse material, including photographs depicting himself with minor girls. These allegations are extremely serious, and we will prosecute Mr. Markle to the fullest extent of federal law.”
FBI Director Kash Patel added, “Mr. Markle allegedly targeted innocent children and sought to steal their innocence through his criminal actions. Working with our Justice Department partners, our agents moved quickly, identified and located the explicit material, and arrested Mr. Markle in Florida.
“This FBI will use every single resource at our disposal to protect innocent kids – any predator who targets children will have zero safe haven in this country or anywhere they try to hide.”
Markle faces 20 years in federal prison.
The Sun was the first to report on the news, with his son and Meghan’s half-brother, Thomas Jr., telling the outlet, “When I found this material, I was horrified, and I had no option but to report my dad.”
Daily Mail later reported that one of their reporters found “vile” materials in his abandoned storage unit in Mexico.
The Sun reported Thomas Sr. has been diagnosed with dementia.
At the time of his son’s allegations, he called them “sick lies.”
As for Meghan, she said the investigation left her “deeply disturbed” and that she was first made aware of the “troubling and disturbing” allegations in a 2018 letter that had been sent to Met Police in London.
“In 2018, a letter was sent to the Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection,” Meghan told Page Six in a statement. “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.”
Meghan and Harry — who are now residing in England after moving back to the UK in August — are set to embark on their first joint overseas trip to Brussels since the move.
