Thomas Markle Snr 'separated from other inmates' as he awaits his fate The 82-year-old, accused of possessing child pornography, was released on bail last but later detained after cutting his electronic tag off on Tuesday Thomas Markle Snr is reportedly being held on his own in prison after being detained. Meghan Markle’s father was arrested and charged with possessing child pornography last week. On Monday (November 9), he was detained after allegedly cutting off the electronic tag a court ordered him to wear as part of his bail conditions. He has been placed in custody in Florida. The 82-year-old saw his pre-trial release revoked by Judge Lindsay S. Griffin on Tuesday (November 10). He formally ordered Markle was detained “in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal,” reports People magazine. The decision means Markle will be held away from other prisoners of people accused of crime, if the jail authorities can make it work practically. It has also been reported Markle Sr will undergo a mental health assessment before his trial. Meghan Markle is said be throwing herself into her work and family as her father’s court case continues. She is estranged from her father, having last seen him in the lead-up to her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. Meghan has also reportedly vowed Thomas Sr will never meet her children, Archie and Lilibet. She has not commented on the allegations. She made her first appearance in public since her father’s arrest on Tuesday. Meghan was due to give a speech at the event on the dangers children face online, but opted not to after reportedly feeling “not strong enough” to address dignitaries. Throughout the event, Harry seemed particularly “concerned” with his environment, body language expert Susan Constantine told Page Six. She added: “The repeated stroking of his beard, coupled with his serious countenance, gives the impression of someone deep in thought and perhaps unsettled by the circumstances.” Meghan “maintained her composure and put on a brave face for the cameras, but a visible heaviness lingered in her expression,” she said.
