Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace may have chosen to remain mute in the scandal currently swirling around the Sussexes, but they haven’t completely escaped its lingering atmosphere.
Yeah, so far, the only reaction from the Palace was that the current Thomas Markle scandal is a matter that only concerns the Sussex family.
But regardless of the Palace deciding to take a ten-foot pole to the scandal, it’s finally come calling to their door following so-called insider claims.
Key Takeaways
- Buckingham Palace has kept its distance from the Thomas Markle controversy
- A 2019 letter reportedly contained serious allegations against Thomas Markle Sr.
- An insider claims senior royals would have been informed of the letter
- Questions are being raised about what the Palace knew
- Thomas Markle Sr. strongly denies the accusations against him
Source Claims It’s “Unthinkable” Senior Members Of The Royal Family Didn’t Hear Of Thomas Markle’s Scandal
Thomas Markle Sr. is reportedly suffering from dementia and had to undergo an amputation earlier this year during life-saving surgery. Now, Thomas Markle Jr. is claiming he found piles of his dad’s pornographic material and knew he had to turn him in to the police.
Okay, this is where the public started getting drawn into the drama, but according to reports involving Meghan and the Metropolitan Police, this controversy started as early as 2019 with a letter carrying serious allegations.
Apparently, Thomas Markle’s ex had written to Meghan to warn her of allegations involving her father and minors. In fact, she claimed Thomas once told her he went to the Philippines because he believed sexual activity with minors was legal there.
However, an insider is now claiming that Meghan would not have received this letter in isolation, and that it would be “unthinkable” to believe the Royal Family wasn’t informed of the letter’s contents.
“It was the police’s duty to make the Palace aware of the claims, and they will have done so,” the insider claimed.
As questions continue about how the original letter was handled, the insider’s claims have brought fresh attention to the Palace.
Meghan Markle has faced criticism over questions about her response to the letter and the allegations against her father, although the accusations themselves remain unproven.
Meanwhile, while Meghan has reportedly expressed belief in the allegations, her father vehemently denies them.
“I’m shocked, I’m hurt and I’m very upset that my son is making these accusations against me,” he told the Daily Mail.
“I could never do what I’m being accused of. It’s the worst thing anyone could accuse me of,” he continued. “This is bulls–t. It’s just a bunch of lies. It’s sick. I have no idea why Tom is trying to destroy me with these lies.”
With King Charles reportedly distancing himself from the controversy, questions remain about whether senior royals were ever informed of the allegations.
Annemarie’s Take
The allegations are certainly disturbing, but the insider’s claim doesn’t establish that the Palace actually knew about the letter. It will be interesting to see whether any further information comes to light.
