Police watchdog to investigate Met over letter about Meghan's father
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has announced that it will investigate the Metropolitan Police Service (Met) over its handling of a letter containing allegations about Meghan's father, Thomas Markle.
The letter, which made allegations about Thomas Markle's treatment by the police, was sent to the Met. The IOPC has confirmed that it will investigate the Met's response to the letter and whether it was handled appropriately.
The investigation is expected to focus on whether the Met followed the correct procedures in dealing with the letter and whether any potential misconduct occurred. The IOPC will also examine whether the Met's actions were in line with the police's code of conduct.
The Met has been under scrutiny in recent years over its handling of various high-profile cases, including the investigation into the death of Sarah Everard. The IOPC's investigation into the Met's handling of the letter is the latest in a series of probes into the force's conduct.
The investigation is expected to take several months to complete, and the IOPC will publish a report detailing its findings.
