London Police reveals letter sent to Meghan Markle back in 2019

London Police has broken silence over Meghan Markle’s father.

The MET police admitted they sent a letter to Meghan Markle about dad, Thomas Markle, back in 2019.

Scotland Yard told the BBC ... "Following a thorough review of Met Police systems and records, we have confirmed that in January 2019, we received a letter containing several claims about alleged offending outside the United Kingdom."

They added ... "It was sent to the MPS Protection Command to raise concerns in relation to the security of the Duchess of Sussex. The letter was reviewed and a decision was made that it should be passed to the office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their awareness. The details of the allegations in the letter were not shared with other law enforcement agencies."

Meghan had previously claimed she was "deeply distressed" as father is accused for child sexual abuse.

The Duchess has issued a statement clarifying her timeline with the Metropolitan Police, acknowledging she may have been "mistaken by a few months".

Her spokesman told GB News: "In recalling events from more than seven years ago, without the benefit of a diary entry or contemporaneous record, it is understandable that she may have been mistaken by a few months."

"If the MPS holds a time-stamped record confirming that the letter was reviewed in 2019, that should be treated as the accurate reference point for when it was received and shared with the Duchess," they added.

"I think it is reasonable to recognise that she is doing her best to recall the precise timing of events that were not diarised at the time, and that any discrepancy of a few months is an understandable consequence of that passage of time."
