Met admits it passed child abuse claims about Meghan's father to the Sussexes in 2019 but told NO other police
Scotland Yard is now considering a self-referral to the police watchdog, though the IOPC says it has yet to hear from the force. The letter, dated January 2019, arrived at the Met's Protection Command in connection with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's security and was passed on to her office. Her spokesman acknowledged she 'may have been mistaken by a few months' after she placed the letter in 2018.
Philippine police are investigating after Thomas Markle Jr handed over his father's belongings.
Thomas Markle Sr, 82, denies the allegations and calls them 'sick lies'.
The letter's unnamed author alleged he travelled to the Philippines and Thailand to abuse children.
