Meghan Markle's niece Noelle Rasmussen says something always felt off about her grandfather Thomas Markle Sr. ... and she finds the child porn allegations made against him unsurprising.

Noelle told The Telegraph ... "Maybe it was a vibe that I subconsciously got … something’s not right about a person, and you don't actively register it. But your body tells you when something's off."

She went on to say ... "It doesn't surprise me. The more and more I think about it, it just doesn't … I don't know why it's not a surprise."
