菲律宾警方正在调查一台在梅根·马克尔疏远的父亲前住所发现的笔记本电脑，该住所内还发现了儿童虐待图像，该国内政部长向记者表示，“完整结果”预计一周内出炉。
Philippine police are investigating a laptop found alongside images of child abuse at the former home of Meghan Markle’s estranged father, with “full results” expected in a week, the country’s interior minister told reporters.
托马斯·马克尔的女儿嫁给了英国哈里王子。据报道，他一直居住在菲律宾宿务，直到今年早些时候返回美国。
Thomas Markle, whose daughter is married to Britain’s Prince Harry, had been living in Cebu in the Philippines until reportedly returning to the US earlier this year.
菲律宾内政部长乔恩维克·雷穆拉表示，如果发现充分证据，该国计划对马克尔采取“适当的法律行动”——马克尔否认了所有所谓的犯罪指控。
Philippine interior minister Jonvic Remulla said the country planned to take “appropriate legal actions” against Markle – who has denied all claims of alleged offending – if sufficient evidence was found.
“菲律宾国家警察（PNP）根据《太阳报》的报道，检查了一位托马斯·马克尔先生的前住所，”雷穆拉在周六晚些时候发送的一条短信中表示。“发现了大量儿童色情材料以及一台笔记本电脑。”“该笔记本电脑目前正在接受取证调查，我们将在一周内获得完整结果，”雷穆拉说。
“The Philippine National Police (PNP), upon the reports of the Sun, inspected the former home of a certain Mr. Thomas Markle,” Remulla said in a text message sent late on Saturday. “Found were a trove of child pornography materials as well as a laptop.”“The laptop is currently going under forensic investigation and we will have the full results in one week,” Remulla said.
“如果发现有充分证据对其提起指控，菲律宾国家警察将与其对应机构协调，定位并对马克尔先生采取适当的法律行动。”英国小报《太阳报》上周首次报道，马克尔的儿子小托马斯·马克尔在整理其父亲前住所发现的箱子时，发现了这些儿童虐待图像。
“The PNP will coordinate with their counterparts to locate and take appropriate legal actions against Mr. Markle if found that there is sufficient evidence to charge him.”British tabloid the Sun first reported last week that Markle’s son, Thomas Markle junior, had discovered the child abuse images while going through boxes found in his father’s former home.
周五，梅根·马克尔表示，她对父亲被指控持有儿童虐待图像感到“极度痛苦”，并补充说，由于之前“令人不安和困扰”的指控，她已切断了父亲与其孩子的联系。
On Friday, Meghan Markle said she was “deeply distressed” by accusations her father had possessed images of child abuse, adding she had blocked contact between him and her children over previous “troubling and disturbing” allegations.
梅根在声明中说，在看到报道后，她回想起2018年曾见过一封发给伦敦大都会警察局和皇家及专业保护部的信，信中提出了类似的指控。
After the reports, Meghan said that in 2018 she had seen a letter sent to London’s Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection making similar accusations.
“信中对我的父亲提出了令人不安和困扰的指控，当时我得到保证这些指控正在接受调查，”她在声明中说。
“It made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father, and I was given assurances that these were being investigated,” she said in a statement.
伦敦大都会警察局表示，已将相关信息转交给这对王室夫妇，但未与其他执法机构共享。
London’s Metropolitan police said it had passed on the information to the royal couple but did not share it with other law enforcement agencies.
《太阳报》周日报道称，梅根去年曾给父亲写了一封最后的信，信中告诉父亲，她知道他是个施虐者，并且他永远不会见到自己的孙辈。
The Sun reported on Sunday that Meghan had written a final letter to her father last year, telling him she knows he is an abuser and that he will never meet his grandchildren.
梅根和哈里王子于2020年因激烈的王室内部纷争离开英国并退出王室职责。今年8月，他们带着孩子意外返回英国定居。
Meghan and Prince Harry left Britain and quit royal duties in 2020 amid a bitter royal family feud. They made an unexpected return with their children to live in the United Kingdom in August.
