Ham pr disasters 55! …no neither David Attenborough or John major will be head of state! ….

Remembering that Meghan was going through "the worst seven years of her life" she'll probably claim the "suicidal ideation" distracted her, Atlusvue

Also strange how she said she kept diaries????? Rem in the NF docu!!!!!

But she didn’t note this????!!?!

Not sure if they will be keeping a low profile, but this saga makes them - especially Meghan - seem toxic and I can't imagine too many charities, etc. will want to have much to do with them.

And these allegations could be anything? Not necessarily CSA ?

Another confused person here - do we know who wrote the letter? I’m sure that letters (or modern equivalent) are received constantly by the police etc accusing people of this and that.

If Meghan was informed of this it was either a) how dare someone say this about my lovely dad or b) I knew it! Omg - I want to know if this is being investigated and will keep on at the police for a progress report. Or maybe c) how embarrassing for me I’ll keep schtum and hope no one finds out about it.

Oh come on! You know the difference if you are told just after the wedding or if you are pregnant with your first child!!!!!

You can’t confuse the dates that much. And if she has no record of anything….then why say 2018? where’s the evidence you were assured that it was investigated?

the Sun:

‘A spokesman for the Sussexes told The Sun the minor date discrepancy was “understandable” given the amount of time that had passed.
He said: “In recalling events from more than seven years ago, without the benefit of a diary entry or contemporaneous record, it is understandable that she may have been mistaken by a few months.
“If the MPS holds a time-stamped record confirming that the letter was reviewed in 2019, that should be treated as the accurate reference point for when it was received and shared with the Duchess.
“I think it is reasonable to recognise that she is doing her best to recall the precise timing of events that were not diarised at the time, and that any discrepancy of a few months is an understandable consequence of that passage of time.”

Yes it's handwritten. Surely that can be analysed? See who wrote the letter. That would be interesting

Just catching up here, but if that letter was handwritten then it didn't come from the FBI (which IIRC was the story yesterday).

Not a chance. They will milk this as victims and a voice for abused children

Hi jeff

The Met Police have confirmed that they received a letter:

Following a thorough review of Met Police systems and records, we have confirmed that in January 2019, we received a letter containing a number of claims about alleged offending outside the United Kingdom. It was sent to the MPS Protection Command to raise concerns in relation to the security of the Duchess of Sussex.

To me this suggests that the primary concern they had regarding the letter was whether it or not the writer posed a security risk, hence forwarding it to Protection Command.
I suspect that had some bearing on how seriously they took the allegations of offending within the letter.

They go on to say:

The letter was reviewed and a decision was made that it should be passed to the office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their awareness. The details of the allegations in the letter were not shared with other law enforcement agencies.
The MPS is reviewing the handling of this matter in 2019 and considering whether a referral to the IOPC is necessary to review our approach.

So, they are now reviewing whether the letter should have been shared.

The date that the Met Police give for receiving the letter does not tally with the date that Meghan gave for receiving it.

I doubt that very much. They are a couple who live for publicity and being in the public eye. That won't ever stop.

He'd have been better off marrying a contestant of off big brother or love island. Much higher calibre.

Why?

That's along read but about the phone I found a really old Samsung Galaxy Mega in the loft clearing out stuff and its from 2013 - plugged it in charged it up and it worked - so his point about being suspicious about charghing up after all these years is frankly nonsense. If that's the level of his arguments he must be a strange attorney indeed.

@jeffgoldblum As far as I can see;

1. There were 2 letters. The Met only has a copy of the 2019 letter. Meghan has a copy of the 2018 letter.
2. OR There was only 1 letter written in 2019, which is why the Met only has one letter. No idea about the 2018 letter.

Surely this will be the final death knell for their public life ambitions? Surely they will be keeping an extremely low profile in the future?

Maybe the letter said it was already reported to the appropriate local law enforcement and the Mets role was compartmentalised as DoS security risk to harassment, blackmail? That would seem the only relevant remit for the Met if allegations were in a different jurisdiction. However if they hadn’t been reported locally then that process should have been completed - probs why Met have now referred themselves.

Will it not be W and C’s fault ?
If only C had taken M shopping and held hands with her .

Wholly agree. The entire family are incredibly toxic. Harry is so unbelievably stupid. He didn't even meet one of them before he married her. The Markles will be a shit stain on the RF indefinitely because of his recklessness

For someone who allegedly has a degree in International relations and wanted to be a diplomat, she’s utterly incurious/incompetent in the matter of separate jurisdictions and cultures. Anyone would think she wasn’t at the very heart of the British establishment, where a few discreet questions about process and what might be going on could be asked.

It does seem like Meghan and the Met are at cross purposes 🤷‍♀️

We've no way of knowing whether or not she had a choice in leaving Meghan with him for years, Rhaidimiddim ...

On this matter the palace will certainly break their silence if she lies about their conduct.

Edited to add I completely agree, but with so many lies exposed already I'm not sure the palace revealing another would make much difference to her, beyond offerinmg another opportunity to suggest they're racist

It might have been seen more as a malicious communication and potential blackmail threat to H&M / RF by Met at the time. Q is why didn’t the writer of the letter approach law enforcement in either Mexico or US to report suspected CSA?
