Meghan Markle Will Only Talk to the FBI if They Meet This Condition

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle landed back in the UK on a private jet in August. By the time September was beginning to wrap up, we heard the news that Thomas Markle Jr. reportedly found hoards of alleged child sexual abuse material in his father Thomas Markle Sr.’s storage, and was so disturbed by it he decided to alert the authorities.

But what would happen shortly after this news broke was really what has left so many shocked. You see, it didn’t take long after Thomas Markle Sr. was accused of these grievous crimes for Meghan to come forward with a statement declaring that she’s known about the allegations for years.

As previously reported, Meghan Markle’s complicated family history has attracted renewed attention following the allegations against her father.

The fallout was swift, as many accused her of being complicit in her father’s alleged crimes by keeping silent. She has since tried to explain it away by saying she was “advised” by a royal guard not to come forward with the story at the time.

There have also been questions about the letter containing allegations about Thomas Markle and why it was sent to UK police.

Now that the investigation into her father’s alleged decade-spanning crimes is underway, the FBI reportedly wants to grill the self-proclaimed “daddy’s girl.” While she’s willing to comply, she won’t be inconveniencing herself by traveling for it, according to the report.

Hollywood insider Rob Shuter revealed this during his Tuesday, November 10, Naughty But Nice YouTube show, saying, “One source told me the following quote: ‘Meghan wants to cooperate, but has made it clear that she has nothing to hide. However, she is not willing to get on a plane and come to America to be questioned.’”

The publicist continued, “The source told me, quote, ‘The position is simple. Meghan will speak to the FBI, but the meeting needs to happen in Britain. She isn’t refusing any questions. She is just preparing herself to answer them in Britain.’”

As for why the Duchess is unwilling to travel, Shuter added, “British law is slightly different to American law. So maybe that’s what it is. Maybe proximity to the crown, to the king, is going to give her something that she desperately needs. But there are lots of questions here.”

Being interviewed in the UK would require the FBI to work with British authorities, which could further complicate the process, potentially allowing the Duchess to avoid the full FBI grilling treatment.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle’s reported difficulties adjusting to life in Britain have also made headlines.

Editor’s Take

There are certainly plenty of questions surrounding this investigation, especially when it comes to what Meghan might know. If she’s willing to cooperate with the FBI, why insist that questioning take place in Britain?

Of course, the allegations against her father are extremely serious, and investigators will need to determine the facts. It will be interesting to see whether Meghan actually speaks with authorities and what happens next.
