Fox News reported that authorities arrested Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan Markle, in Florida on Friday, according to a law enforcement source cited in its report on the arrest. The summary of that report describes the source only as a law enforcement source, does not identify the agency involved, does not describe any charges, and lists no author.

The Guardian reported that Markle, 82, was arrested by US federal agents in Florida on charges related to child sexual abuse material and was taken into custody near Tampa. The Guardian's account of the arrest, written by Richard Luscombe in Miami, is the only one of the two summaries that names the charges and the federal agents involved.

Both accounts place the arrest in Florida and name Thomas Markle as the person taken into custody. The two reports differ in detail, with The Guardian describing the charges and Fox News citing only a law enforcement source.

The Guardian also reported that the Duchess of Sussex, who is Thomas Markle's daughter, said she was "deeply distressed" about allegations that surfaced last month. The summary does not directly connect that statement to the arrest.

Neither summary describes a response from Thomas Markle, a court appearance, or whether he has entered a plea or retained a lawyer. The summaries also do not say how the investigation began. This account is based on the summaries of both reports and does not include their full text, so further details may appear in the complete coverage.
