## Key points

- The Met reportedly misplaced a letter alleging offences by Thomas Markle.
- Meghan supplied a copy after police asked whether she had one.
- The allegations are denied and remain under investigation.

## Summary

The Metropolitan Police reportedly misplaced a 2019 letter from Thomas Markle’s ex-wife alleging child sex offences and warning that he could pose a threat to the Sussexes. The force later asked Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, whether she had a copy, which she supplied; the allegations remain unproven and Mr Markle denies them. The case raises questions about how the police handled information that could have been relevant to child protection and security.

Roslyn Loveless is understood to have sent the letter before its contents were passed to the Sussexes. The Met is assessing whether to refer itself to a police watchdog, amid claims it failed to act on an earlier tip-off and did not share the information with the FBI or National Crime Agency. Former child exploitation unit head Jim Gamble said an external investigation was necessary, warning that children may have remained at risk during the years since the allegations were raised. Authorities in the Philippines are investigating alleged abuse images said to belong to Mr Markle.
