According \u200cto an FBI affidavit filed in court as part of the criminal complaint lodged against him, one of \u200cthe \u2060photos showed a naked girl in a room that appears to be part of a \u2060motel chain in the Philippines, where Markle previously resided and where authorities initiated an investigation of him last month.<\/p>\n
The affidavit says federal agents seized the material in question, including photographic slides, film negatives and books, from two storage units Markle had rented in Los Angeles since 2008.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the case \u200bon Friday (November 6, 2026), FBI Director Kash Patel said Markle \u201ctargeted \u200cinnocent children and sought to steal their innocence through his criminal actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Markle, who most recently resided at an assisted-living facility in Lakeland, Florida, near Tampa, denied possessing sexually explicit photos of children when such allegations first surfaced, telling the Daily Mail they were untrue and \u201csick lies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Home confinement grows \u2018untenable\u2019<\/h4>\n
No plea was entered during Markle\u2019s initial court hearing last \u200cFriday, and the judge permitted him to be released from custody on condition that he submit \u200bto home detention and the wearing of an electronic monitoring device.<\/p>\n
But federal prosecutors said they asked the judge to revoke home-release and keep him locked up pending trial after he was found \u2060to have cut the ankle bracelet off early Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Agreeing that Markle\u2019s housing situation had \u201cbecome untenable,\u201d Griffin granted prosecutors\u2019 request. Markle was then re-arrested and returned to federal custody, according to the US Attorney\u2019s Office in Los Angeles, where the \u200ccase against him was brought.<\/p>\n
The judge stipulated that Markle was to be kept in a detention facility \u201cseparate, to the extent practicable, from\u201d the general jail population. She also ordered Markle to undergo a \u201cprompt medical evaluation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Tampa-based federal public defender assigned to represent Markle did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.<\/p>\n
Griffin on Friday ordered Markle to undergo a psychiatric examination to determine whether he was mentally competent to face prosecution. The judge said she found \u201creasonable cause to believe\u201d he was suffering from some mental deficiency, based in part on his advanced age and a \u201clack of recall\u201d he \u200cdemonstrated during last week\u2019s court appearance.<\/p>\n
Meghan in public<\/h4>\n
Meghan, an American actor, has been estranged from her father since the run-up to her marriage \u200bto King Charles\u2019 younger son, Harry, in 2018, when the duchess has said she first became aware of the allegations against the elder Markle. She has said she was \u201cdeeply distressed\u201d over the matter, \u2060which led her to cut off contact between her father and her two children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday \u2060in Brussels, Meghan made her first public appearance since her father was charged, attending an event with Harry at the European Parliament to mark the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial, an art installation commemorating \u200cchildren who died as a result of suffering harm on social media.<\/p>\n
Harry delivered a speech at the event, but Meghan canceled her planned address, a spokesperson for the couple said. Neither responded to questions shouted at \u200bthem by journalists at the gathering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
