Meghan’s Father Arrested and Charged by Federal Prosecutors, Andrew Summoned to the High Court, and the King in the Caribbean Rain

A WEEK OF RECKONINGS: AN ARREST IN FLORIDA, A ROYAL SUMMONED TO A WITNESS BOX, AND A KING FACING AN EMPIRE’S DARKEST CHAPTER Thomas Markle Sr., 82, was arrested by federal agents in Florida on Friday and charged in California with possession of child sexual abuse material, the Justice Department announced. He has not entered a plea and is presumed innocent. Mark Francis covers it briefly and carefully, including the institutional question at its centre: a 2019 letter that reached the Metropolitan Police, went no further, and is now before the police watchdog. Plus Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor summoned to the High Court as a witness in December — by most accounts the first royal witness summons since the 1870s — the King’s “shameful chapter” address on slavery in Antigua, and Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/palace-intrigue-harry-meghan-the-crown-royal-family-news-and-gossip--4522904/support.🎄 One subscription, the whole family, no ads.
