Meghan Markle’s Father Scandal: Police Reportedly Lost 2019 Warning Letter as Cover-Up Questions Grow
New questions are emerging about how Scotland Yard handled allegations against Meghan Markle's estranged father, Thomas Markle.
The Times reports that Metropolitan Police officers asked Meghan to provide a copy of a 2019 warning letter after they were unable to locate the original. The letter, written by Markle's late first wife, Roslyn Loveless, contained serious allegations that were not passed to overseas authorities.
Daily Mail columnist A.N. Wilson raises questions about whether police or palace officials failed to act, while The Independent examines Loveless's troubled marriage to Thomas Markle and her earlier public warnings about him. Markle denies the allegations, and no cover-up has been established.
Meanwhile, anonymous sources suggest Buckingham Palace could distance itself further from Harry and Meghan as the investigation continues.
Royal journalist Andrea Caamano says Meghan is receiving support from friends while on a previously planned family holiday, with staff managing her social media accounts. The Duchess is also reportedly continuing work on her As Ever business and potential television projects.
And Piers Morgan clashes with Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee over whether Meghan should face questions about her response to the allegations. Their heated exchange turns into a wider argument about race, responsibility and the British media's treatment of the Duchess of Sussex.
