The Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom have confirmed that they showed a letter containing claims of alleged offending by Thomas Markle Sr to his daughter, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. While Scotland Yard stated that the information was shared in 2019 and that the claims were not passed on to other agencies, the confirmation follows a recent statement from the Duchess.
In her statement, the Duchess of Sussex revealed she had been made aware of troubling allegations against her father, which served as the prompt for her decision to keep her children away from him. Reports differ slightly on the timeline provided for when this notification occurred, with sources noting both 2018 and 2019.
