Why ‘haunted’ Meghan must speak out after Thomas Markle abuse claims

On Sunday’s episode of The Royal T, Camilla Tominey and Hannah Furness discuss the ongoing investigation into the Duchess of Sussex’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Snr, after his arrest by the FBI on suspicion of possessing child sex abuse images.

They discuss Meghan Markle’s decision to pull out of a scheduled speech on child online safety in Brussels earlier this week, what the Sussexes knew about the allegations eight years ago, and an emotional letter from a listener questioning why the couple didn’t follow up on the investigation sooner.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Hannah welcome confirmation that the Princess of Wales will join Prince William in Mumbai for the Earthshot Prize next week, marvel at Prince George’s impressive kingfisher drawing published in Country Life magazine, and reminisce about Camilla’s memorable wedding planning advice to Kate.
