The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is set to investigate the Metropolitan Police regarding its management of a letter containing serious allegations against Thomas Markle, which was given to his daughter, Meghan, in 2019. The investigation will focus on why the Met did not share the letter's contents with other law enforcement agencies, both in the UK and abroad.
The letter, written by Markle's first wife, included claims that have led to significant concern, particularly following recent allegations against Thomas Markle. The Met has voluntarily referred itself to the IOPC and is expected to make further referrals to relevant overseas authorities in the coming days, as investigations into the allegations continue in the Philippines.
