Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, was forced to hand police her personal copy of a 2019 letter — containing child sex abuse allegations against her father Thomas Markle Sr — after Scotland Yard admitted misplacing its own version. The letter was written by Roslyn Loveless, Markle Sr's late ex-wife, and addressed to the Met's Fixated Threat Assessment Centre. Meghan is said to be 'upset and really frustrated' by the force's handling of the matter, with the Met now reviewing whether to refer itself to the IOPC.
The letter warned Markle Sr posed a 'high risk' security threat to Meghan, Harry and her mother Doria Ragland.
Police in the Philippines are separately investigating suspected child sex abuse images reportedly found at Markle Sr's former home; he denies ever possessing such material.
Scotland Yard admitted it took no action beyond passing the letter to the Sussexes' office and failed to alert any domestic or international law enforcement agencies.
