Thomas Markle has been arrested in Florida, according to reports.
The Duchess of Sussex's father, 82, who has been living in the Maravida Senior Living care home in Lakeland, was arrested by the FBI on Friday, the Daily Mail revealed.
Meghan's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jnr, 60, previously told The Sun that he reportedly found an alleged hoard of child sex abuse images at his former home in the Philippines and reported them to the FBI and local police.
Thomas Markle Snr has denied any wrongdoing, dismissing the allegations as "sick lies" in an interview with the Daily Mail.
The Metropolitan Police said it passed a letter to Meghan concerning "containing a number of claims about alleged offending" outside its British jurisdiction in 2019, but did not share details with other enforcement agencies. The Duchess is said to have been left "upset and frustrated" by the force's failure to act on the allegations.
The Met has since referred itself to a watchdog over its lack of action.
On Thursday, it was reported that the police enquiry had been widened to also include Thomas Jr. However, it's understood he's being treated as a person of interest and not yet as a suspect.
