- The Met is reviewing how it handled a 2019 letter alleging abuse by Thomas Markle.
- Markle denies the allegations; the Met says it did not alert overseas police.
- The review may clarify whether Palace officials knew about the letter.

## Summary

The article reports growing concern at Buckingham Palace over what a Metropolitan Police review may reveal about its handling of serious allegations against Thomas Markle. The claims, made in a 2019 letter from his first wife, were shared with Harry and Meghan but, according to the Met, were not passed on to law-enforcement agencies overseas; Markle denies them.

The review is intended to establish why the letter was not shared with authorities in other countries and who decided what action to take. A royal source quoted in the article says it is “unthinkable” the Palace was not informed, while the Palace has declined to comment. The article suggests officials may have wanted to avoid a scandal eight months after the royal wedding, but presents this as speculation rather than an established finding.
