Thomas Markle, father of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has been arrested over allegations he possessed child sexual abuse material, sources told CBS News, the BBC's US partner. The 82-year-old was taken into custody on Friday. He has previously denied similar claims, calling them sick lies. The case remains under seal. Earlier this month, such images were reportedly found at a property in the Philippines.
