Philippine police are seeking a warrant to examine four boxes of electronic devices linked to Thomas Markle Sr, the estranged father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. The devices are suspected of containing child sexual abuse material, but investigators have not publicly confirmed what the files contain or whether they establish any wrongdoing by Markle Sr.

Allen Rae Co said the forensic examination could take about a week once the necessary warrant is granted. Investigators must establish the nature and origin of the files and determine who owned the devices.
