UPDATE: Meghan Markle Sent Final Letter To Dad, “I Know You’re An Abuser” · I Do, Part 2

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey there folks, it is Monday, October 26th, and if
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: we thought the stuff that was coming out about Meghan
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Markle's dad was bad before, things just got worse. And
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Rolls.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I say it gets worse, he hasn't been found guilty
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of anything, but the more and more details that are
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: coming out and some of the language being used by
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the authorities in the Robes, this story is really taking
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a turn.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is escalating, I think it's fair to say.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And you're right, he has not been charged, we say yet.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But the Philippine authorities have made several comments among them
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that they feel like they will have what they need
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: at least a week from now. They were kind of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: giving a timeline as to when we might expect charges.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: And also some big headlines coming out over the weekend
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that Megan wrote a letter to her dad last December,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: so December of 2025, as he was recovering in the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: hospital from having his leg amputated. And where she reportedly spelled.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Out, I know you are an abuser and you will
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: never see your grandkids.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Brooks, there is so much here. And there's another letter
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to be mentioning here that came apparently from
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: his First ex-wife in which she laid things out to authorities. Robes,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: there is a lot happening here. And actually, where do
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you even want to start with this? Because there are
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: several elements now new to this story that are going
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to cause people, Robes, to ask questions of police. Sure,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Meghan Markle is going to get a few questions coming
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: her way as well. Because it seems, at least, Robes,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: almost a year ago, she knew for sure this guy.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Or at least suspected that.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yes. No, no, no.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: She wrote a letter saying we are done with our
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: relationship based on what she knew about him.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: The Sun is reporting that, yes, again, this letter they
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: said she sent December of 2025. They claim that, yes,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: in this letter... She accuses him of sexually abusing children.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We're not even just talking about possessing child pornography or
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: any sort of explicit images. She flat out accuses him
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of sexually abusing young girls.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Apparently, this is according to The Sun, she.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Had the staff at the hospital take the letter to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: his bedside and video it. That exchange happening and reportedly
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: had him sign a letter or a form confirming he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: had received her letter, which she said would be her
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: final bit of correspondence to him ever. And notably that
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: he would never, ever meet her children.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: What did she know, babe, that she was sure enough
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: about to cut off all contact for the rest of
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: her life with this man? What did she know that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: police couldn't move on?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Which is so interesting because obviously her half-brother, up until
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: finding what he claims was a trove of damning images
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and videos from his father's home, up until that discovery,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: he had been solidly team Thomas Markle Sr.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: What did she know that he somehow didn't believe or
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: wasn't aware of? It's just interesting that she was so
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: resolute in her reaction to what she heard described versus
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: his son until now.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Who was closer to him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: How would she be in possession of that and know
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it so certainly? She doesn't have any relationship with the guy,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but the guy, the son that's living with him, Well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: this doesn't make sense. Her original statement also, I have
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: questions about. She didn't mention this. She didn't mention this letter.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: She didn't mention what she was aware of. She mentioned
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: something back in 2018, 2019. She didn't mention this part
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of the story.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yes. And a lot of people are calling into question
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: with their, and I say their, I mean, Meghan and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Harry's readiness to overshare, to defend themselves.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: They'll point the finger at the royal family. They'll talk about.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Any racism that they may have experienced at the hands
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of them. And yet somehow this just was omitted.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. You make a good point. Okay, fine. You make
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a good point. Okay. I know they get it left
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and right. They can do no right quite frankly usually
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you're damned if you do damned if you don't but
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: there are certain things they ask for there are certain
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: things that they feel like people a way they should
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: be behaving and robes they go against it in some
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of their behavior on this one rope she withheld some
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: information she has every right to do what she wants
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to do but man when you're trying to get back
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in good graces when you this is a mess.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: This is tough, when you overshare on certain things, aren't
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: as transparent about others, and then try to say, but wait, yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I knew, but according to her people, she didn't feel
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: comfortable Speaking out about this because it was an active,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: or at least she thought it was an active investigation,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and she didn't want to do anything to disrupt said investigation.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: As late as last year.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, or make accusations publicly that she couldn't prove. So
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that was the defense on her not being outspoken specifically
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Rose, she is sure that there was a man hurting children. Now.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Sounds like it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I understand. it's supposed to be in their hands, but Robes,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that is how, how can you not? I don't know. Robes,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: maybe they said we got it and she reported it all.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: She told them everything she knew, but for a public
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: trying to find a way, you know, it's not a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: public trying to find a way to embrace her again.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I think she's probably trying to find a way to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: be embraced. Robes, this doesn't look good.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It doesn't.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say it's the end of the world.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: She did something terribly wrong and it, Maybe her hands
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: were tied, but it doesn't look good.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: It doesn't.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Now, London Metropolitan Police, we should say, did confirm, because
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: we remember on Friday, Megan said that she received a letter.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: She said it was in 2018. The police said it
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: was actually January of 2019, and they didn't mean to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: point out the misinformation, but they said it was understandable
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that she might have misspoke or at least had a
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: couple months. She was a couple months off, basically, from
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: when she thought she was shown this letter. versus their
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: records that show that they did, in fact, show her
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a letter in January of 2019 that contained, quote, a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: number of claims about alleged offending outside the United Kingdom.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: That's how they reported it. Now, according to a lot
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: of reports.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You said alleged offending outside. So they got a letter
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that said he was up to something, but not within there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: In the UK.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Correct. So that's their defense, potentially, of themselves. And by
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: They did say that they fully acknowledged they did not
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: share the allegations with other law enforcement agencies. They only
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: shared it with Harry and Meghan. They didn't show it
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to other law enforcement agencies. And so now because of
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: public outcry, the Metropolitan Police say they are reviewing how
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it handled the matter and they are considering referring itself
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to to a police watch drop group called the Independent
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Office for Police Conduct. But they're basically publicly acknowledging that
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they probably screwed up in not passing this information that
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: children were being harmed potentially by Meghan Markle's father. They
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: didn't alert authorities. in the area where this may have
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: been occurring.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Do we know where it was?
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I think it was the Philippines.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: It was the Philippines.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Yes. And so, look, Thomas Markle Sr.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: 's first wife, this is the woman he married before
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Meghan Markle's mom. This was the mom of the half-siblings,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Thomas Markle Jr.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: And her half-sister.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They were married for about 11 years, I believe. She's
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the one who reportedly sent that letter detailing the allegations of,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: about Thomas Markle Sr. that made its way to London's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Metropolitan Police. She is reportedly the author of those allegations.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Then who knows what she knew, what she saw, but
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: she felt strongly enough to report it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Correct?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: All right. And the police do nothing about it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: All right. They don't even share it with another agency.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: They just shared it with Meghan and Harry for whatever reason.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make a lot of sense.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: They said they were worried about her safety, that somehow
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: this information could impact her safety or maybe somehow impact
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the royal family.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: This is getting worse.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, as you're talking, this thing is getting worse. Possibly, we,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to protect the royal family or to protect Meghan Markle,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we let a monster stay loose.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And didn't want to make anything of it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Kind of what it sounds like.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: They're going to, man, everybody's got answers.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And look, couple that with what the Philippine interior minister
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: is now publicly saying. I'm going to quote him directly because,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and we've seen the pictures.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: They are literally.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Taking out the biggest boxes ever. Like it must be,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know, when you're moving the extra, extra large
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: box filled with what seems to be, or they say
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: is evidence evidence. that they are putting into police trucks
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: coming out of Thomas Markle Sr.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: 's home in the Philippines.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It's hard to, because you hear boxes found in a closet,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: family pictures or whatever. You have a an idea in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: your head of picking up a box yourself and opening
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it up no no no this required two men to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: carry a huge one of these boxes one person can't
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: carry these are huge robes what the hell This is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: years of collecting stuff, if it's what they say it is.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Almost certainly. Absolutely.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So this is what the quote from the interior minister was.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: In these cases where family disputes are mixed up, we
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: have to consider all the angles. Right now, all signs
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: point to a possible sex offender of the grossest kind.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: We want to be sure before we release the findings,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the forensics data will be complete in a week. So
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that was over the weekend. So it seems like within days,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: we should be getting some answers. And I believe the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: reason why he made that initial first statement was because
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: we have heard from Thomas Markle Sr., who's talking to
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: some tabloid outlets, trying to point the finger at his
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: son saying, hey, these weren't in my possession anytime recently.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Who knows who all of this stuff may or may
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: not belong to? So yes, the interior minister is saying
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: we have to figure out basically who owned what. But
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: According to some of these reports, there is a video
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: with Thomas Markle senior in the video.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: So that would be irrefutable.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: This is some nasty, awful stuff.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And look, um, she, and, and Megan like to know
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that she felt so resolute that she sent him this
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: letter that she wanted receipt that he had received it,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: that he would never hear from her again. that he
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: would never meet his grandchildren, and yet she said nothing
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to anyone about it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know what responsibility she might have. That first
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: statement was difficult, Robes, the one she put out where
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: she says, I'm not having a relationship with him because
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I want to protect my kids. That statement is difficult
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: when you think about the other kids. There are other kids.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: There are potential children. Your kids were safe. I'm just
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: saying how this is going to play. I'm not mad
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: at her and these family dynamics and everything else. But, man,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: police have got to answer some questions, babe. And the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: way she has talked, she has to, baby.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: She does. And police do.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I think you can tell they're already feeling the heat,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: that they recognize that they are now being questioned. fairly
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: scrutinized for literally dropping the ball or saying, not our problem,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: didn't happen here in the UK, not our responsibility.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Is that what they're going with?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Well, that is kind of how they've worded it, that
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: it was from allegations outside of the UK. When we
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: come back, there was some really interesting words that Thomas
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Markle Jr. had to say to Meghan Markle publicly. These
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: two have been estranged for years. And this was a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: full-blown apology to his half-sister. Welcome back, everyone, to Amy
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and TJ. Some pretty big developments over the weekend in
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the Thomas Markle Sr.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Saga.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Philippine police are investigating him. The FBI, we should mention
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: as well. is monitoring the situation, assisting Philippine officials, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: say that, yes, they are now currently looking into whether
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: or not Thomas Markle Sr. may have had any criminal
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: activity here in the United States. So there are full-blown
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: investigations going on, and the UK police are trying to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: say we may have to investigate ourselves because perhaps we
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: dropped the ball.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: A lot of people.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: issuing statements, but among them, Thomas Markle Jr. And he
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: had something to say to his half-sister.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of this. Does it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: seem heartfelt, sincere here? Is it, I don't know. That's
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the only way possibly to get a message to her.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: He's not in contact with her, but man, it's, I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how he missed it. How
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: could you miss it? There's And these aren't small boxes
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you can tuck away in a closet.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: How did he miss this?
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: He was living with him for the past four years.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: So that's hard to imagine. But this is what he
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: said to Megan publicly. I'm so, so sorry, Megan.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I now know I have been protecting the wrong person
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: for the past nine years. Having seen what I have seen,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I believe the man I've been defending and caring for.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Is a monster.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I now know why you don't talk to him anymore
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: and why you won't let him meet Harry or his grandchildren.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I am ashamed that I spent years taking his side
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: when you fell out with him. I know we're not close,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: but I can still remember holding you when you were
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: a baby and looking after you when you were small.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Please accept my apology and know that I wish you
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and your family all the best for the future.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Nice enough. Simple as that. Let it be. I mean,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he was wrong all this time. I just 60 years
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: living with him for the last four. And why? How
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: does he explain being in the Philippines?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: What was he doing there? Did he have a job?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: He just retired. Likes the Philippines.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Lower cost of living, maybe. 82 years old. Yes.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Head over to the Philippines.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Well, the SNL UK, this is their second year. They
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: had a field day with this over the weekend. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: it's funny you mentioned the Philippines because they actually took.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: A shot at that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: So, you know, they do kind of like what we
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: have here where they have like news headlines. So they
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: had their broadcasters reading news headlines cheekily and it began
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: in royal news. It's been a big 24 hours for
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Meghan Markle, whose dad has been accused of being an
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: alleged pedophile in another pathetic attempt to win over the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: British public.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: People laugh.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: In 2025, Thomas Markle moved to the Philippines in a
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: sure sign of his innocence.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Whoa.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: And then the final doozy.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: If the allegations about Meghan Markle's father are true and
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: he is a pedophile, there is a genuine chance Meghan
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: could be considered royal.
• 16:12
