What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on Meghan Markle’s statement and on allegations involving her father, but they frame the claim a little differently. Newsweek headlines the “sickening” child sex images claim and quotes Meghan saying she chose to bar contact with her children to protect them. Channel 4 News uses the more general phrase “disturbing allegations” and is the only one to mention her saying police informed her in 2018, along with the report about images allegedly found at Thomas Markle’s former home in the Philippines.
